I am hoping this is a great setup that will get me in the water a lot and do me until I advance.
I'm not quite sure what you mean "until I advance." Rest assured, that reg will pretty much take you as far as you want to go.

Thank you everyone! With all the great feedback I have gotten, I am leaning towards the Scubapro MK17/ S600 along with the Scubapro R195 octo. Burhan made a suggestion that I agree with to have the octo match the regs. I am hoping this is a great setup that will get me in the water a lot and do me until I advance. Do you all agree? You guys are a lot more knowledgeable than I am! I have been out of the game for 15 years and just now getting back into diving.
I REALLY like the Apeks XTX200 package but I was told it would be very hard to get it serviced here in the US.
