Well after weighing up the pros and cons, I got my new Oceanic Ti reg.
The whole setup is its 2lbs lighter than my old reg, considerably less bulky and cost just over $500 for 1st, 2nd, octo & gauge. Haven't yet been down with it but put it on a tank and it breathes really nice. All in all I'm well pleased.
For anyone interested,
Scubapro's MK25T weighs 29.2oz (1st + 2nd stage + hose)
Mares Proton 24 Metal 1st stage 626g (22.8oz) 2nd stage 243g (8.6oz)
Oceanic Delta 3 TDX-5 1st stage 19oz, 2nd stage 6.1oz
Don't know what the Cressi weighs but its even cheaper at leisurepro.com
Now onto the bcd...
