Size comparison: G250V vs. S600

G250V vs. S600 comparison - size, not performance

Wondering what the actual size difference between the two is.

The closest SP dealer to me doesn't have a G250V in stock and I'm not about to special order one when I'm not sure if it is exactly what I want. I am familiar with the S600 and am curious as to how the two second stages compare in size before going any further with my purchase decision (it'll be mated to a Mk17).

So, anyone have any measurements and/or side-by-side picture comparisons of the two? Any experience with both?

Thanks all.

the g250 is substantially larger, but not noticeable when breathing from it

I believe the G250V is the same size as a R190 plus the adjustment. In the water the size difference makes no difference except for the performance. Bigger= smoother & easier breathing. At least that is what I found comparing an original G250 vs S600.

OK - so no side-by-side comparison of the s600 and the G250v.

How about this method: Could/would one of you s600 owners measure and post the reg body diameter? How about the same from a G250 owner?

Thanks again.

Just out of curiosity, why do you care about the difference in diameter?

The 600 is slightly smaller, has some metal parts to it rather than all plastic, and is much more beautiful. It is probably the most beautiful 2nd stage on the entire Earth.

The main reason for buying it is because (1) price is no object and (2) its beauty is irresistible.

Sort of, the same reason that you would choose a particular woman, in fact.

Not with a measuring tape.

The 250V has an all metal barrel (I believe that's the correct term). The adjustment knob is also metal. Perhaps you're thinking of the 250HP?

Nope, I am thinking of my own six S600s.

Yes, but you said:

"The 600 is slightly smaller, has some metal parts to it rather than all plastic,...."

Implying that the 250V was all plastic, which it is not.
