(Genuinely) new Apeks regulator - XTX 200/Tungsten

[ChrisMBC]

Starting a thread for anyone interested in Apeks' new 1st/2nd, the EVX 200/EVX Tungsten. Description and images that I scraped are in this post, but to summarize:

• Looks quite a lot like an XL4 second stage with a redesigned purge cover. Double-swivel hose will anger the DIR crowd but maybe make an alternative to Atomics?
• Hose routing for the 1st stage looks pretty good for single-tank long-hose, not sure about doubles
• ACD device looks like a fairly logical carry-over from the Apeks Legend range
• Looks like a lot of focus on freeze resistance, between the massive headsinks everywhere and the plastic cover (which I assume is the "Unfreezable end cap technology")

Double-swivel hose will anger the DIR crowd

Nah, we'll replace the hoses with better lengths regardless. Unclear if ACD is good or bad though.
