Titanium Reg systems? Are they worth it?

[Kupu]

I could never rationalize the cost of a new titanium reg, nice if ultralight travel is the goal but better to save the money and spend it on diving. Perhaps a used titanium reg set at the right price might catch my eye.

Pair them with a neon wetsuit and you are set

Colours are lost underwater.

Ti regs exist to sell their non ti versions... the sales line is "I understand that $2785 is a lot for a regulator. How would you like one that performs EXACTLY the same, is a few ounces heavier, and only costs $1092?"

It is also for the people that walk into dive shops and want the most expensive stuff because it is the best (because it is the most expensive).

Sad thing is, there is only Ti version of TFX; I just want the damn 2nd, in normal brass (ok I get a big advantage of the mechanism is how light the poppet is so I am out of order)..
1300 for a 2nd is just beyond me (for that I can get 10 g250s and maintain them and maybe spare a couple of dives as well, which I have done.... wait a damn second )

ok maybe just that specific case Ti has some advantage

Ugly is more appropriated.

A used and reconditioned d350 or d400 is still a viable alternative.

Working on that (servicing one) tho..

No. They aren't really worth it but you'll have to pry mine out of my cold dead hands.
