That may eliminate some of the crazy hose spaghetti you have behind your head. But then you wouldn't be you!

The DS4/TX50 is exactly what I am using on both posts. Did you get a chance to look closely at them when we were out at Casino Point last month? I am quite happy with them. My only complaint, and it is a minor one, is the TX series is a bit large for the backup, if I were to do it again, I would strongly consider the ATX series for the backup. Just a little smaller when looking down toward your feet.headhunter:Hey guys,
Thank you very much for your recommendations and opinions.
The more I think about it, the more I think I'll wind up going with the Apeks DS4 as my 1st stage of choice. Eventually, I'll probably wind up with a bunch of them and a whole bunch of TX50s to match.

Of course, that's another reason that it's time to replace my 1st stage. Hose routing was not much of a consideration when I only had an SPG and a single second stage attached. My horse collar was manually inflated, so I only had those 2 hoses to route.Robert Phillips:That may eliminate some of the crazy hose spaghetti you have behind your head.

Yes, I looked very closely at your setup and thought it routed the hoses nicely.Mark Vlahos:The DS4/TX50 is exactly what I am using on both posts.
