A little irritated they killed off Dacor too.

I enjoy these equally:
Atomic
Deep6
But I do get to try the D420 next Spring and will ensure it is RSingler tuned! I have high hopes for this rig.

Have fun herding the cats, Buddha!Second stages, focus
Argh. This myth just won't die. Dacor was already dead when Head (Mares' parent company) bought it. They had ceased production, connections with third party suppliers had been severed, and tooling had been scrapped.
Head wanted the still extensive dealer network in the US which they planned to supply with relabeled Mares products. What they got was a lot of pissed off shops who wanted actual Dacor stuff. And then a lot of pissed off divers once the remaining stock of Dacor parts ran out.

Can I put in a vote for the Tekna T2100. No, not the B or BX but the original brass body T2100. It was a performer at depth though it could stutter at 20 feet or less. I enjoyed mine. Small, light, side exhaust, pneumatic servo operated, what is not to love. And it came with a Mark V clone first stage that was better than the Mark V, better chrome, stainless turret screw too and parts compatible.
That is a (40 yo NIB) Tekna Mark V clone there driving a Jetstream, in many ways so similar to the Tekna T2100:
So by default I guess I am throwing in a vote for the Jetstream because it has a side exhaust, is tilt valve pneumatic servo operated and can flow an awful lot of air when requested to do so.
You cannot herd cats, everyone knows that

I like my Apex XT50 devices. Very nice to use.
