Brandon:
You are making me think! Thanks!
I wonder which of these different reg.s are made in the U.S.A. (not re-labeled, but actually made in the States)???

I see Zeagle advertises that they are now completely made in the U.S.A.
I'm assuming Kirby Morgan is also.

Apeks - United Kingdom
Aqualung - France
Kirby Morgan - USA!
Scubapro - Italy / Mexico
Zeagle - USA!

Sent a PM with some comments... don't want to hijack your thread, hehehe.

I vote for the Zeagle flathead/ ZX. It's what I ended up buying

You may want to throw Dive Rite on your list . There often overlooked high quality regs that will do all that you described

If he's going to add DR he might as well add Salvo (my understanding is it's the same reg).

One thing: Make sure whatever reg you purchase, you've got a LDS that can service it for you. An LDS that you like, where you trust the people to do a good job on servicing.

Speaking of servicing, take that into account when thinking about pricing. I was originally looking at an Apex reg, but ended up with Atomic's (Z2 with a Z1 backup), due to the longer gap between service for the Atomics.

YMMV
