Stay away from the mk20, they had a recall people I know have had failures. You can tell if it hasn't been Fixed because there will be 3 plastic vents instead of 2. Google search mk20 recall, I have one.
Honestly I wish I listened to my buddy a while ago. It's life support spend the most you can comfortably, a good reg will out last you! Buy cheap and used you will conatally be upgrading gear. I have over 4 spare regs now I know.
@buddhasummer i find unsealed diaphragm chambers much harder to clean than unsealed pistons because there is no flow throw ability
of those very specific combo's, I'd choose the mk20/g250 and then have the mk20 upgraded to a mk25. If you can get the mk25 with the g250, you'll be best off imo
I have no idea what you're recommending but for the benefit of the OP, there is one main difference between the MK20 and MK25, and that's the external IP adjustment. There is ZERO reason to spend money on this 'upgrade'.
If you're referring to the piston, which is the other difference, I would only replace the piston in a MK20 if it has the 2nd generation brass tip piston. The 1st generation MK20 stainless steel piston works just as well as the composite piston, and some late MK20s already had the composite piston.
