So first of all, I've been diving a DR Transplate (which has been converted to hog), my lights (2 backups and HID) are DR, just purchased my new classic wing for doubles, and I have plenty of other DR doodads. So I am a fan. Right now I'm looking at regs for doubles and one of our local tech instructors is steering me towards the RG2500's or Huricanes. I currently have 2 Divers Supply Tek-X regs that I had considered converting to DIN but really have not been happy with. The cracking pressure adjustment on BOTH of my second stages has frozen up and my LDS hasn't been able to figure out why. And I baby those things so I don't want to get into a situation where my regs can't stand up to my diving. In researching your regs, it seems that my current regs share a lot of parts with yours. I was hoping you could give me the break-down of what separates the two.
I have the newest version of the tek-x and it looks very similar to the Hurricane. The 1st stage looks the same (both sealed, balanced, diaphragm). The second stages look similar (venturi assist in same place, same basic dimensions, both air-balanced). I am looking primarily at the RG2500 w/ the ice kit. Can you tell me what sets these apart for the regs I am diving now? I'm also looking at the XTX50's/DS4's so if you have any comparitive data on those it would be helpful. I'm not asking for (or interested in) any gear bashing, just some constructive feedback as to the differences in these regs.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
