I've bought quite a bit:

For wife and I:
Mares Abyss Voltrex regs-Great deal on scubatoys, good recs on here
Oceanic 100NX computers-Great deal on scubatoys
Mares Brigade Octo
DAN SMB w/ whistle, mirror
EMT Shears-based on SB recs
Slingshot fins-LDS
Aquapro masks-LDS
Some fancy snorkle-LDS
Booties-LDS

For me:
Zeagle Stilletto LTD-based on great reviews and good price on scubatoys. Lightweight for travel, and good for everything I will need.
Henderson 3mm Thermoprene-LDS

For her:
Zeagle Lazer: same reason as the Stiletto
Aquapro 5mm-LDS
 
3 used LP 72's.
I didn't need them but for $10. each, I couldn't help myself.
 
- Custom fit Pinnacle Evolution 2 drysuit
- 4th Element Arctic undergarments (3pc)
- SP Jet fins to fit over the huge D/suit boot
- Black mask (just because it looks cool)
- Viking bayonet/dry glove system (I need to find another solution for this because my hands are as big as the ID of the bayonet)
- Merino lined hood for use with my shiny new drysuit
- Bungee mounts for my spare computer and spare compass
 
I never owned a full set of gear but this year my wife and I made the investment. Only differences are our fins/masks

Aqualung Zuma BC- super lightweight.
Aqualung Titan LX regulator also lightweight
Atomic SS1 Octo-Inflator
Oceanic SWIV analog gauges,
Scuba-Pro Twin Jet Max Split Fins
Cressi Big Eyes Crystal mask
 
Just got a Scuba Pro MK25/G250V reg - with a yoke plug in. I'm configuring it for a Key Largo jaunt from 6/6-10. If it works OK I may be using it for my shallow dive pony here in NJ this summer. (Anyone, will I be happy with this reg, IYHO?)
 
shearwater predators - one for me, one for my buddy. :eyebrow:
 
-small smb & whistle
-found a large dsmb shortly after - brand new. it's mine now. (put your name on your stuff!)
-cressi big eyes mask & cressi snorkle - in pink. wanted new mask & snorkle, liked the fit, went rogue and got pink
-dss wrist mount
-uv rash guard
-wetnotes & refill book
 
Most expensive gear : drysuit (>2500$ :knocked-o )
Cheapest gear: few feet of nylon line (free at divegearexpress). This piece of line was useful to set up the new doubles rig :rofl3:
