I currently run with a Yoke to DIN converter off a Diverite 300 Bar manifold to a set of Oceanic Alpha 8 with PX3 Yoke first stages. I am looking at replacing the PX3's with a set of Apeks DS4 DIN first stages. Has anyone used Oceanix Alpha 8's with the Apeks DS4?

Doing further research shows the Apeks has a 9.5 bar IP (about 140 PSI) while the PX3 runs at 140-145 depending on depth (over balanced) so the IP should be ok. The LP ports are both at 3/8 so that should not be an issue.

Should be interesting to compare the PX3 to the DS4 with the Alpha 8 being a constant.
