Those are really expensive compared to some of the other regulators. We revised our order of them this year because they did not seem to have a big advantage over either the 15x or the 72x, except for the size maybe. If they came environmentally sealed that would be a different story.
We were going to get them because we wanted the dual adjust second stages. Now, we put on a black faceplate onto a dual adjust octo if they want that as a primary second stage.
Mares has this way of packaging the first and second stages in particular combinations that can be frustrating. In addition, they generally don’t sell the first and second Stages separately. They told me they do that to minimize inventory.
I have a bunch of loops doing nothing, because that’s the only way you can get the 72x.
