Ok so as with most hobbies I unfortunately get myopically focused and my excitement tends to get ahead of me... That being said I have my OW checkout dives scheduled for next month in Tampa and purchased 2 sets of regs at what I assume was a fair price and both in very good condition. My question though is what are the differences in these 2 regs? I have searched the net, this forum, etc and still cant find a definitive answer. Is one better than the other? Both same just different years? I plan to use one as MY primary set and the other for a spare or for my Girl to use (though hers will likely see less use). Between the two sets which should be MY go to? OR, (and be honest) should I have got something else all together.... That being said, MARES can be serviced locally if that is a question...

Set #1 is MARES mr16t first stage w/ Metal Proton 2nd / ABS Proton Octo + AA Cobalt 1

Set#2 is MARES v16 first stage w/ Metal Orbital 2nd stage / ABS Aqualung Octo + Aeris XR1 console insert, SPG, compass
