Looking for good DIN Reg for use with HP E-8 130

[SFL_diver]

I have noticed that there aren't too many DIN regs out there.

I'm going to be using Pressed Steel HP E-8 series tanks and will be using them at the full 3440 - 3500 psi. So I want DIN setup.

I have looked at the Dive Rite RG2500 -- http://www.diverite.com/Products/Pr...roductID=RG2500

But I am also considering other DIN regs. I am trying to stay away from titanium due to cost and O2 problems.

a lot of regs can be switched over to Din or yoke, whatever your preference is....there is a lot of DIN regs out there..

Yes, I am diving two Aqualung Legend LX Supremes as DIN. I love 'em.

Other than some pretty old regulators, most have DIN kits available.

So which model would you guys recommend? I need to make sure the DIN valve on the 1st stage will fit the DIN valve on my Pressed Steel E-8 130s. I know there is that 232 bar and 300 bar difference.

I guess they don't sell the Apeks ATX 200 online... you have to go to a dive shop and buy it there. What's a good price for that model?

I haven't really looked at the ScubaPro DIN reg models... any inputs?

I'm still kind of leaning towards the Dive Rite RG2500 cause they offer a lifetime warranty and they are right here in Florida.

ATX50 is just as good...........save yourself some moella.

SP and Apeks also give a limited lifetime warranty and free part if you buy the reg. from an authorized dealer. SP DIN comes with 300 bar that fits to 232 bar valve on 130cf tank. There is no particular reg for DIN valve type. So, you can have a lot of information about two brands' regulators in this borad.
