So you chose a noticably lower performance detuned R190???
I suppose you could develop a way to protect a well tuned high performance regulator so it is not exposed to the forces that initiate a freeflow. but it just seems easier to me to simply provide the user a control that allows the dynamic adjustment of cracking pressure to adjust fort such situations.
It doesn't have to be wildly detuned, just not on the verge of leaking. Breaths adequately for its purpose, doesn't leak, has less parts, and is great for the job. I find balanced adjustables to be way more finicky and prone to leaks than r190 type regs, too.
It's not like I don't have enough regs to choose from, either
