May be getting a good deal on some Halcyon regs (H-75P or H-50D with Halo second stage). I know these are rebranded Scubapro MK25/Mk17 and G250V regs. Anyone seen the Halcyons up close and can comment on how their fit/finish is compared to Scubapro originals? It appears from the Halcyon website that the first stages lack the TIS fins. Wasn't there an earlier MK25 design that didn't have the TIS? Should that be a concern?
The Halo second stage has more plastic on the front, no metal ring, and purge button is not metal. Other than that, it appears to be the same exterior quality. Hard to tell from pics only.
Price being the same, I'd go with Scubapro, but this may be a large enough price difference to make me reconsider. Just want to feel confident they match Scubapro in performance and durability.
Halcyon only requires servicing every other year. Would make up for the FPFL that Scubapro has (at least if purchased in 2011, as the program is changing).

Not doubting you, but this is news to me. Any further thoughts or rationale on this issue?

"They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport". Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage. Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure." www.sfdj.com
