No, you're paying slightly to a lot more for somewhat better quality. Hog is good enough, but it's hardly the best.

We'll revisit this in 5 years...
 
I had my $150 epic for 4 years now...
 
I've had (different) Atomics for 14. What does that prove?
 
B2 with a sealed first stage without a doubt or a question. You can't compare the B2 (or any Atomic regulator) with the Aeris or any other regulator in the market, they are in a class by themselves for sure.

The B2 I own now was bought about 15 years ago as a B1 and was upgraded to a B2 not too long ago and has been the most reliable regulator I have owned (in addition to the other Atomic regulators I have). I have it serviced every 3 - 4 years. Performance is simply awesome.

You are right to suggest "saving" because I am still diving(rec or tec) with my 16yrs old Apeks.
So how long have you been diving with HOG?

I will ask you again in 12 yrs time!
 
hmm, I guess people who buy anything more than a Honda Accord are also wasting money. So as people who dine at any place cost more than McDonald, so as people who fly better than economy ....... I have been wasting so much money
