I guess the post is really a result of online translation. I have no clue what the question was.
To the OP if you are using the online translator try to use simple phrases

The MR-12 first stage is one of the oldest design (model) being sold today and there is a reason- it is a very good design. The Proton is good but not as good as the older MR-12 second stages and the Viper is less good but good enough as an octo. They will work well if taken proper care of. Hope this translates well.

Herman thank you very much, my question is whether this reg is better than my current reg, sherwood magnum a SRB5300, I read good things about this reg (Mares) but do not know anyone who has one, in my case I really relaxed and maximum dive of 100ft, this basically is a second regulator, but occasionally I would use my wife, this is my doubt if this equipment has good quality in this configuration or do you recommend better sell it and buy another, thank you very much and greetings.

I would rate them about even. I prefer diaphgram first stages but that is mostly personal choice. The second stages are about the same as well. The only reason the sell it and buy a different reg is if you have difficulty finding someone to repair and service it.

I used to own a Mares MR12 Axis with DFC. The second stage had a design defect that would cause a very small hiss. I believe there was a replacement part but I never bothered to replace it. I just tuned the second stage down a bit. All in all it's a very decent, good enough regulator that I dove with for 6 years and then gave away.

I don't care for some of their BCD offering though. The hub was a stupid design. I really like the simplicity of a backplate and wing BP/W.

If someone could (manually) translate that to Spanish, I'd appreciate it.
