I'm currently diving singles with an Apeks ATX 200 and ATX 40 backup.
I just picked up a pony, so I need to get another reg.
Please don't start the pony debate. The boats here require either a pony or doubles.
I was thinking of getting another ATX 200 for my backup and switching the 40 to my pony, but one of the guys I dive with said it's usually recommended not to use a high performance reg as you backup.
Is this true?
Should I keep the 40 as my back up, or should I move it to the pony?
What reg should I get to use on the pony or to replace the 40?
I want it to be another Apeks. In addition to using it with the pony right now, there is a chance I may eventually switch to doubles. There is also a possibly I may need the third reg for a stage in the future.
