I too am in the beginnings of learning how to dive with double cylinders.
I have plans to dive with a friend's Poseidon Odin/Jetstream reg next weekend and put it through quite a workout.
I'll post my results/findings next week.

i love regs which use a pilot valve nothing sweeter to breath from.. only problem up here is much greater chance of a free flow with those type of regs... Oceanic makes a zeta second stage with a DX4 first.. that will be my next rec. reg set..

as for first stages...not can be configured sweeter than a mk/25/20/18....so on, for back gas. Nice feature with scubapro is they will pay for the parts every year if you service them every year. They breath great. I have 9 MK20's with 15 G250's and a couple of MK2 with R190's. I also hear that apex work well. My scubapros ork great for me in all environments.

Flathead VI and ZX(s) I have about 30 dives this year and it's a sweet breathing set-up. Basically it's a refined Apex since they actually used to be the Apex line. American built if it means anything to you, but I just love it. JMO

scubapro has diaphram first stages. Both the MK 18 and Mk 16.

Hi
Are you going to dive Cold waters ? or is there a chance that you are going to dive waters colder then 4 degrees celcius (sorry dont know the american equivalent) then DEFENITLY get your self a Apeks. We have alot of freeflows here in Europe with SP's. (9of the 10 times during the winters Januarie&Februari with MK20's/MK25's). I have also two Apeks ATX200. This reg is a better breather than the Apeks DS4 and the MK25. ATX200 also makes a neat and nice hosing possible. Earlier i promised to post some pics of my rig. to this forum as soon as i got a digital camera. Now i have one : now i have to figure out how it works with my pc.
Are you going to dive warm waters get your self a nice MK25-S600 these regs are bastard proof and are the real workhorse of SP! And also have really nice hosing possibilities.
Hope this helps. Xerxes

On my doubles I use a Beuchat VX10 on the left post, and a Scubapro Mk20 on the right post. I like the combination, and how I am able to route the hoses. By turning them sideways, everything goes where I want it, and they do not interfere with vavle operation. Both are excellent breathing regs IMO. I have never used them in cold water though, so I can not give an honest answer for that department.
My dive buddy just got a Apex ATX200 that he won from the Apex website. The thing is super sweet. I will have two of these in the future for my doubles rigs. The hose routing options with these things is unbelieveable. Plus the fact that they are so tiny! I want these!
