I'm still trying to land a solid price on all my equipment, and more importantly, try to figure out what I want for equipment regardless of price. I've been looking all over at regs and trying to find reviews, but I honestly don't even know where to start. As of now, I'm looking at the Oceanic Delta 4 and the Sherwood Maximus. I haven't been into my LDS, but being in Montana I'm not assuming a wonderful selection 
I know they carry Oceanic gear, but I didn't look too close other than that, as it was quieter than a mime in a tomb and it made me nervous haha. Obviously cheaper is better, but I figure I'm going to be relying on my reg more than any other piece of gear, so I'm more willing to splurge for a better reg than the rest of my gear (which are still pretty liberal decisions thus far).
I've looked around, and seen plenty of good reviews on both regs, but I didn't find any threads directly comparing the two. What are your thoughts on them, is either one considerably better than the other, or should I shoot for price?
For a bit of background, I plan to do some local diving, which I'm not sure exactly how chilly the water will be, but I'd guess 40*F or so, maybe lower, maybe higher...I'm just guessing.. It's usually pretty cold on the surface (50* or so I'd guess), but I've yet to dive anywhere locally. With the cold diving around here, I have every intent of traveling and diving tropics with the same equipment, so an adjustable reg is definitely preferrable.
Since I'm so blind on where to go for regs, if you've got another one you'd suggest strongly over these two I'm open to it.
