I would be happy with a Mk 25 EVO and C370. But, I would not really want a Mk11 or an S620Ti.

Facing the two options you presented, I would spend less money and get a better reg set by buying a new Atomic Z2.

I only buy 1st stage regs that have a bottom LP port, for the better hose routing (yes, even in single tank configurations). So, no Mk 11 for me.

I owned 2 of the S620Ti and they were okay, but loud as heck breathing, in the water. And the ScubaPro G260 and any Atomic breathe better. I compared the S620Ti and G260 back to back and I could tell a difference. I sold my two S620Ti's and kept my two G260's.

So, either option you're looking at would be right out, for me.

But, I've also had the Atomic Z2 and I like it better than either option you're looking at and even slightly better than my Mk 25 EVO/G260 setup. And the Z2 is only $570, unsealed, or $600, environmentally sealed.
 
I would choose neither, and go straight for the best: MK17+G260.
No compromises. And the price is affordable:
 
thanks for the information!
go for the brand new. I agree with @buddhasummer that C370 breath easy. My son has one and loves it. I use the S620 Ti because I bought it new on sale for less than I can tell
