Regulator advice

[H2Andy]

ok... i currently dive with two Yoke regs (Sea Elite Tech and Dacor Fury)
and am thinking to moving up to DIN regs of a higher quality.

at the moment, i can get two Apex US4-ATX50's for $480 (total price)

but i also can get two Scubapro's Mk2-R290's for $280 (total price)

(i'm talking about TWO sets of each, just to be clear)

so... do you guys think the two Apexes are worth the extra $200 bucks?

I think they are worth. I use DS4 although my primary 2nd stage is SP - I like it better. DS4 is a very good regulator so you should go for it.

do you know if the US4's i am planning to buy are comparable to the DS4's?

Aren't the MK2's unblanced????

US4 = DS4 minus the environmental seal on them

Are the two Scubapros new or pre-owned? At $280, two Scubapros would be a "steal" -- I would love to have even one Scubapro reg.

yeah, they're downstream

 

[Tamas]

yeah, it's a downstream system

then just get the US4's from Apeks

ok, pardon my ignorance...

why is balanced so much better? there is something to be said
for a simple desing, don't you think?
