I'm looking for an inexpensive, but reliable reg for my pony bottle. I know the conshelf XIV is an old classic favorite, but the SE2 is also highly regarded as a simple reliable workhorse and also a newer design. But, brand new price of a XIV is way more than an SE2. So, picking up a used unit on eBay for approx $100, which would be the better reg to get ? I'm guessing the conshelf XIV, but it would likely be much older than an equally priced SE2.
They are nearly the same regs. They use the same parts except the inlet filter and retaining ring. The SE2 just has smaller ports (3/8) and more of them, where as the original conshelf had only 3. Some versions have a removable crown too. Either way its is all the same. Take your pick. Performance is also simlar. Suggest reading the thread conshelf fans welcome.

I picked up a used Conshelf XIV off ebay for my pony - paid 53.00 for it and it was in great shape except the mouthpiece was a little stiff. There's one on ebay now starting at 9.95.
