which is better deal? z2 or b2

I've used Miflex LP hoses for three years now. Love'em. And as the owner of the B2 and the M1, I'd say go with the Z2 and save some money. Less cosmetic differences, less cost but same breathing performance.

Clean your gear soon after a dive and you don't have to worry about corrosion. Actually the B2 also is made out of chrome plated brass, so you'd still have to take care of it more than the ST or Ti series.

Go Z2+Z2. I did the B2+cheap octo and regretted it. I eventually picked up a Z2 Octo. Eventually I plan to move to a long hose config, and at that point it becomes effectively a Z2, but for now with the stock hose, the Atomic swivel is very nice to have.
