Word on the street is that the Salvo manifold is made by Sea Elite. The Sea Elite manifold has a good reputation.

Someone in the know could chime in on this, but I _think_ Sea Elite used to make the Halcyon manifold, but not sure if they still are or not since Halcyon began putting their stamp on it.

Here's a good comparison:
Sea Elite vs. Halcyon

Apparently the Sea Elite's are sourced in Asia now, and the Halcyon's are still sourced in Italy.

It looks like most of the comparisons in that thread were circa 2002 before the changes in suppliers (and mfg design change for the H's) by both brands.

I have both Sea Elite and Halcyon 300 bar manifolds.

Except the 2 1/2 turns, it is an idnetical manifold. I was told that Salvo manifold comes from the same source. In addition, Sea Elite is much cheaper....

dont really care about the # of turns. the sea elites are indeed cheaper but not as easy to source in the Philippines as comapred to the H's. set on the H's

I see....... I think $200 for H manifold is a decent deal when we can get only on the speical sale..
