Local Scubapro dealer looked it up for me on Saturday. Lower price ($749.??) was with the Mk17, and higher ($779.?? I think) with the Mk25. It was hard to catch the 2nd price as I was still in shock from the first one.
Well, keep in mind that there are regulators that the second stage are mostly plastic and they cost a heck of a lot more than that.
As compared to some of those regulators, this is a bargain.
But... ZOMG!!1!!! It has Teh Shiney!!!!1!!!eleven1!1!!!With a price tag in the $750 to $800 range. Unbelievable.
At least it looks like the shiny first stages are a special edition and not something being foisted on everyone buying an MK17 or MK25.Disembodied Scubapro Narrator:In addition, our MK25 and MK17 first stages have both been redesigned in polished chrome finish editions, specifically for the A700, giving an exquisite look and feel to systems built to last.
