Hey all.
So along with other 'firsts' in my life, I've decided that a regulator will be my next Dive purchase. (Hence the my first reg topic...)
I'm a bit sick of renting them now.
So I'd like all of you guys collective input and advice on this purchase.
My preferences for the reg purchase are as follows in order of importance to me.
It's received excellent reviews in both scubadiving http://www.scubadiving.com/gear/regulators/class_of_2004/1/ & Divernet (British Mag,) http://www.divernet.com/equipment/0804divertests.shtml#axis
I'd be grateful for your input on the Mares reg setup above and other regs in that price range.
Oh and it doesn't matter to me whether or not I get free or some sort of reduced rate for servicing the reg if I buy it from a particular retailer as shipping the reg to and from the states, paying whatever stupid taxes are levied on it. Is just too tedious and expensive for me.
Thanks in advance for your input..

- Reliability (I don't want something that is going to be constantly in need of service, adjustment et cetera. I've had excellent experiences using Sherwood Magnum regs already).
- Budget (I'm on a tight budget need I say more, ~$400 at the most)
- Performance (I'm a warm water diver, strictly recreational for the foreseeable future, generally diving between 0-100fsw, with the occasional juant to 110fsw for a particular dive site). Nitrox capable reg if possible
