I'm recently certified and want to begin my equipment purchase with a regulator.
I have until July 31 for the free alternate with Aqualung and Apeks.
I am deciding between the Apeks XTX50, Apeks XTX200, and Legend LX ACD which the LDS stocks, or special ordering the XTX100 through the LDS.
My LDS says that the 200 and Legend breath better than the 50.
The service guy says he likes the ACD feature on the Legend because it protects the system better. My gut feeling is that Apeks are better made and look better, but the ACD is a better protected system.
Should I get the Legend because of the ACD feature?
If the ACD is not a consideration, is the FST first stage definitely better that the DSR first stage of the 50?
Does the swivel of the 50 actually reduce airflow?
Will I really be able to breath better with one regulator over the other?
I really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
