Purchasing this setup...thoughts?

robbanks78 · Mar 1, 2006

Hello all just got an estimate for this setup:

B.C. = Zeagle Ranger Ltd.
Regulator = Atomic T2 with Ti2 octo
Cressi Sub brass mini spg w/ depth

Through my LDS it came to with tax and all 2400

Please critique to your heart's content.

Thanks.

In the same way you don't "need" a Ferrari, you don't "need" a titanium regulator and octo.

Just as an example, for $1150 at Scubatoys you could get this package that includes a dive computer for half what your LDS is selling you: http://www.scubatoys.com/store/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=ZeagleTusaPack

If it were me I don't know that I'd get that exact package from Larry (for starters I prefer a wrist computer/gauge, I'm also a BP/W convert) but it gives you an idea of the differences in pricing.

there really is no advantage to a titanium reg worth twice the price

you can get a full, quality package for half that amount, including wetsuit
and computer

the Zeagle regs on the package above are solid, reliable regs, considered
to be up there with the big boys: Atomic, Apeks, ScubaPro, Zeagle,
Poseidon

wow. Not a good wow.

I guess it is a good thing that I said I would think on it.

If you are particularly set on Atomic (or your LDS is), see how much the package would cost with their new Z2 regulator and octo. Basically the same reg as the Ti2 but without the fancy schmancy exotic expensive metals and WAY less money.

I'm with the rest of the crew. You can get GREAT regs for half the price--or less.

You're going to need to rob another bank.
