In my opinion, their regs are the best around. Really great regs. I am also fond of their Jet Fins and Frameless masks. Their BCs do not impress me but, I am biased towards the BP&W.

I can almost guarantee that this is the work of a technician who has no clue on how to service a SP. They are easy to screw up if the technican does not know exactly what he is doing. If they do it properly, SP regs are bullet proof.
Funny, I work occasionally in a Dive shop in London and have serviced thousands of regs. Never seen a piston O ring go on a Scubapro yet!!! A couple bought back for free flowing
In the shop the Apeks have a reputation for being the free flow kings, But I still rate them highly
Personally most problems I've seen with any make of reg is just after they are serviced and the O rings and seals bed in initially. I personally believe that you can over service them and personally just clean and inspect mine regularly. I replace stuff when it shows any sign of wear rather than cos a year is up. I've never had a free flow in nearly 3000 dives in the UK many in winter. I also prefer the breathing characteristics of most regs when the High Pressure seats have a little wear ring bedded in
And I have seen the straps break and the metal clips strighten on Jet fins!!! (I've had 2 pairs go this way myself before I replaced the straps with Bungie (Much better than springs)

But anyway, ScubaPro make some of the best gear in diving. Their Regs are highly rated and rightfully so. The rest of their equipment is also top of the line stuff.
And yes, It does come with a price.
By the way, if your guy is able to beat LP on SP prices, go for it.

We must deal with the same guy since we live in the same area. He is a jerk and at the shop I work for the feeling is that we were a Scubapro shop long before he started and we will be one long after he is gone.

I use a ScubaPro Classic BCD and really like it. However, it has an SP AirII in it that I hate and will probably replace. (Anyone wanna buy it? )
Bottom line, you gotta try some stuff and decide what you like and then go with that. The most important thing is feeling comfortable in the water with your gear. So long as you're comfortable and the gear is well mantained, you'll be fine.
