Poseidon Cyklon 5000 Metal

I just don't like the Omni-swivel. It's a failure point dependent solely on one hex screw and an or ring seal that is not well captured.
I'll take a straight adapter and the plain 110° connector, since I'm essentially using the 5' hose to give me the lateral movement I want.

why not use the omni elbow adapters then?

Didn't know about them. Thanks!

T-bone was right.
The Cyklon gets REALLY stiff if tuned for 165 but breathes from unbalanced reg at 125 psi IP.
And if you tune it on a Poseidon, an Apeks or other balanced 1st for 135 psi, it doesn't breathe as smoothly as newer plastic component 2nds.
The metal to metal friction takes its toll at lower IPs.
I think a Scubapro C350 would be a better choice for unbalanced downstream 2nd and low IP (e.g., cold water diving).

Just for the record, here are my notes on cracking effort for the Cyklon with changing IP
