MK21/S560 with R095 octo, Subgear XP-10 console with SPG $550What are you getting and what's the price on them? In general I'd have no problem buying pre-owned from a dealer as you describe but with some brands and models, even half price is a rip-off.
A pretty good mid-level Scubapro 1st and 2nd stage with a standard octo. The Subgear XP-10 is now the Scubapro Aladin Sport.MK21/S560 with R095 octo, Subgear XP-10 console with SPG $550
I'm not a big fan of the console computer either. My plan would be to still get the Geo 2.0 in the near future and use this in the mean time. Probably set the XP-10 to gauge mode and just use the spg. I was just hoping I didn't make a mistake going with used regs. I was planning on buying new but I have a hard time passing up a deal.A pretty good mid-level Scubapro 1st and 2nd stage with a standard octo. The Subgear XP-10 is now the Scubapro Aladin Sport.
Personally, I would prefer a wrist computer along with an SPG and a wrist compass. The price seems to be 50-60% of the cost new.
Maybe they would sell you the regs without the console at about the same discount. This might be the best option.I'm not a big fan of the console computer either.
