Talked to Scubapro US yesterday and they said the Mk19 is a go

Hose routing is different, the EVO HP is more straight out, the old 17 points it towards you, the LP hoses on the EVO are up/down and the 17 is front back, I’ll go out and take some pics and post them here.

I’m always mixing these two up on the LP routing, some pics
EVO front/back LP

17 up/down

17 HP points forward

EVO HP to the side

I was told the D420 will not be available as a separate item until December. Poo.

There should be used ones around sooner.

I just don't see the advantage of the swivel. It never seems to really help with the first stages I have (MK-5, MK-10, & MK-20/25).

5th port?

5th port?

I have never needed more than 4 but it can help with routing for some situations, when I travel I can remove the 3rd or 4th hose for the dry suit, warm water I’m usually only using two hoses by using an Atomic SS1.

I’m just saying that it might be a reason why the turret is enticing to people
I do like my 5th port but I understand that it is far from being mandatory

Much more useful in sidemount

A pair, even, assuming the MK19/D420 does ship in the May timeframe

 

[rhwestfall]

I do not cross hoses on my doubles, so never use the 5th port.

Don't do side mount either (yet?)

YMMV
