Diverite RG2000 Clone?

[mheaster]

Anyone know anything about Tilos RL2000 Proteus Regulator?

Apparently it is a Clone of Diverite RG2000.

Because of appealing price, availability of parts and DIY service manuals (DIVERITE's), they are apealing to me for pony and spare regs.

They can also say Oxycheq or Promate.
They work fine.

They are a good buy.

They are good regulators and they are not clones. They are simply just alike. Same manufacturer for all of them.

The promate Tornado Ice with the Explorer Pro is the same regulator at an exceptional price and I service or will sell you service kits.

What's the difference between a clone and "just alike"?

If I have learned this correctly, all of the previously mentioned Equipment suppliers Regulators are actually manufactured by "Ocean Divers Supply Tiawan". They aren't "knock-offs", grey market or fakes (clones) they are essentially the same regulators minus the plastic logo caps on the 2nds?

I am roughly paraphrasing the responses I received (at least the way I understood them).
I will tell you I ordered two of the Tilos Proteus RL2000 regulators

I got them for a song! I am QUITE pleased with the feel and quality and have dove one set albeit in the pool only and am quite pleased! (NOTE the logo on my reg in profile pic)

I am interested in the self servicing aspect as parts manuals and rebuild kits are available.

I am at least 1.5 hours away from my "LDS". Not quite as local as I'd like!
