Funny, I was only watching that video last night [it is very long an yet to finish it].
Surprised how much cheaper it was at my 'go to' store in Australia.
New toy.
OK, just bought it in DIN.Here are some data from the MK19 Regulator Geek Video, where Rob compares the IP swing of various 1st stages from full to empty tank (starting at around 56 mins into the video). The results are shown at 104 mins (screenshot attached below).
The Mk17 has a an 8 PSI swing and the Mk19 Evo 4 PSI. Apparently tolerances in hard parts and o-rings were modified.
Anyway, I do agree with your conclusions and like your reg selection
