Zeagle flathead vs Apeks ATX200

[Fire_medic_RescueDiver]

Ok here we go again. I am going on a 10 day long dive trip in the Keys and would like to break in a new set of regs I am looking at the Zeagle flathead and the Apeks ATX 200 as the ones that I want, I just do not know which one to get. Here is what I am looking at right know.

1st I need the reg to be good in ice water as well as deep water
2nd It has to be E sealed
3rd that I can get them serviced at my LDS.
4th I do not want to spend a arm and a leg on it $600 or less is a good window.

Both are very good regs!My buddy has the Apex200 and I use a Flathead IV(top of the Zeagle line) both in cold and warm water.Hose routing is also good !Both are sealed and lots of service centers especially in the US.Zeagle is very popular in Florida since they are based there.Apex alittle more expensive than the Zeagle.I saw Leisurepro selling the Flathead IV for less than $400.You actually can't go wrong with either regs.
