I'm trying to compare the weights of different first stages, but a lot of the spec sheets and resources aren't directly comparable. Many of them include the weight with the hose and the second, or only have yoke, etc. Does anyone know the weights of the DIN versions of the first stage only of the ScubaPro Mk25t, Mk11t and the Atomic T1, T2, T3?
 
The Mark 25T Evo is 12.3 ounces in DIN configuration. It is 16.7 ounces with yoke.
 
Is that the weight out of water for travelling, or in water weight?

Here is a copy of the Scubapro document with weights. I take it as the actual weight.

My yoked Mk-11T weighs in at 469gm (or ~ 16.54 oz) with rubber stopper and port plugs. DIN I dinno. You should get an idea from @Nemrod 's post above.
 
Does the minor weight savings of a titanium 1st stage provide value to anyone? I don't see the appeal of saving a few ounces this way. Picking at compact 1st like a Mk11 seems a much better option.
Adds up when you carry 3 on a trip (L & R or Back & Pony + backup.) Have 2, need a 3rd (and 4th, 5th ... 🤣 )

Cost adds up too when titanium is $1000/stage more expensive than brass. But you can't take it with you, so whatever!
