DGX Custom - Deep Six DGX Regulator
if you are buying used, lots of good name brand regs from scubapro, apeks, aqualung, atomic, or zeagle can be had for a lot less than new. tack on another 120 to 160 for servicing.
i don't find the slim octos to work very well. have used both the oceanic slim line and aqualung abs before. get a 2nd matching second stage instead.
the oceanic omega/hollis 500 might be an option if you do not want a full size regulator.

slimline? - smaller but still high performing regs:
Apeks Flight
Egress Octopus
or a Mikron -
Mikron - Aqua Lung US - Personal Aquatic Equipment for Recreational and Professional Use
probably still paired with an Egress (same dealer works on both brands) since I've also heard the ABS isn't the best breather.
Atomic Aquatics 2nds seen to be smaller than some. And lighter

How can you recommend a regulator that just came out? Have you tried it?
I had the Apeks Flight for a short time. Didn't like it because the exhaust tees are very short and my bubbles were all right in front of my face.

the flight also uses spendy proprietary hoses which means packing spare hoses on vacation

Im looking for a thin styled one like the dacor viper. I was looking at the Mares
Mares MV 12S Regulator
I also found a decent one by CRESSI on ebay. ...new and great price (199) plus the octo (89)
The Mikron is nice too.
Got ya. Sorry. No help.
