so it is time to place an equip order. hopefully this week. all options researched and considered. but i am hoping some of you can maybe add last final info before making the final decision.
i currently use the Hog D1 1st stages for sidemount. love them. the hog 2nd stages as well. but they must be replaced (don't ask - long story - not relevant).
i am wonder how changing from the hog style 1st stage (same style as the hollis dci or apeks etc) with the swivel turret and 5th port on the end, to the mk 25 might change things.
i understand the mk25 also offers the swivel and the 5th port but i have never had these side by side. the mk25 seems to be a lot "longer" and not as compact. does this affect hose routing or eg position etc or should i be able to use exactly the same routing i am using now ? any info appreciated.
btw.....not interested in debating the sealed diaphragm vs piston argument but i was concerned at first about the mk25 in cold water. i since have found that they seem to perform fine. especially the new "EVO" versions. so should be no issues there. just gotta make up my mind between the s600 or g260
thx everyone
