I think Joe just posted the ScubaPro adapter youtube just before I sent this. Seems like that would solve any questions on which way to go.
Many people forgo adapters and use the correct branded parts going to and from DIN and yoke, that is what I was advising. And it is cheaper to buy yoke and then source the Scubapro DIN kit as they do not have a yoke kit. But these things all come down to how many times you may need to dive as yoke or DIN and know in advance which will be needed. I am not about to use an adapter when I can install the correct parts to go either way. The correct yoke parts can be gotten by a Scubapro dealer, just they are not sold as a kit on Amazon for $69.
 
I am planning on buying DIN and just having this DGX DIN-to-YOKE adapter on me if needed. Will this be a headache when dealing with Yoke-configured tanks or is it relatively straightforward?
If you are a traveling diver, forget the DIN. Only reason to have DIN in my opinion is if you own DIN tanks or you are a traveling tech diver.

Otherwise, yoke makes much more sense -- every dive center you visit will have yoke tanks and no need for the adapter/conversion kit/tools/potential mishaps.

Further, it makes no sense to sweat a few grams between different reg models and then lug a yoke adapter if weight is an issue.
