After a lot of thinking I finally bought my 1st & 2nd stage deco regulators...
I ended up selecting 2 Scubapro MK2+ & R295...
1) I had them for little money
2) I had them with different color covers and with 100 cm hoses
3) 1st stage is a workhorse and super simple
4) When the deco bottles will be nearly empty the breathing effort will raise so I will be warned to get ready for a gas switch
5) 1st stage is very small and not prone to snags like an L shaped first stage would be
6) Hose routing is more then adequate
7) You can swap them underwater in case of need
I know that there is always something better and more expensive but life, after all, is being able to accept compromises...

P.S. Can't wait to try them, my old reg for NTX50 was an Oceanic SP4 + Alpha 7...
