Nice gear. Gonna love your Atomic Z series regs. I love mine.

The Atomic stuff is amazing. On top of that I was able to get my Z3's for $318 a piece through House of Scuba. I got some great package pricing and all the Atomic gear carried the highest discounts i.e. Z2 Octo - $153 (Reg 290), SV2 Snorkels - $39 (reg $69), Smoke on the Water Fins - $142 ($250 reg). I was very happy to see that.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Z2x with rotating turret and the Z3? Thanks.

Wow $319 for the Z3 is amazing. House of scuba lists $529. They gave you one incredible discount.

The only difference is cosmetic. They made it look more like the T3 i.e. the metal ring on the face.

According to Atomic they are identical mechanically.

Thanks. Actually I got the Z2X last year and love it. Was just curious. Would love to buy more gear but wife would kill me

Great choices! Now go wear it out through being active divers! It will last hundreds of dives if properly maintained- have a great time diving with it.

I will vouch for the fact they both breath the same except one is 1/3 of the price of the other. Biggest difference is the weight and materials used for the first stage.

Yep. IMHO, and take it with a grain of salt because I am new, but I feel that the Z3 is the best deal on the market. You can get this reg for less than $400. And as soon as it starts becoming more available it will drive the prices of the Z2/Z2X down and those will be steals.
