Is it possible to buy just the second stage and hose w/o the first stage? I need to add a second regulator and do not want a yellow version. Thanks

What do you mean? Both 50 and 100 have adjusting screw. Service kit is the same for both.I believe the main difference between 50 and 100 is the fine tuning on the adjusting screw.

TX, ATX, XTX and Egress 2nd stages all use the same service kit(AP0219). I never need O-ring AP1159 and AP5711 for my T20, ATX40, TX40 and TX50 2nd stage. But my ATX-200 needs both of them.What do you mean? Both 50 and 100 have adjusting screw. Service kit is the same for both.
Here you provided link to XTX line, so I thought we were talking about XTX 50 and XTX 100.Apeks XTX Range of Regulators
I believe the main difference between 50 and 100 is the fine tuning on the adjusting screw.
BTW, ATX-40 is a lot cheaper unless you prefer adjusting screw.
The diaphragm on ATX is smaller than TX and XTX but the main moving part is the same.

I must admit that I have no knowledge on FST and its corresponded 2nd stage. Only assuming both 100 and 200 2nd stage are using the same adjusting screw.
The adjusting screws used on TX-50 and ATX-200 are different:
1. TX-50 uses only adjusting screw(AP2029) +AP1409 O-ring
2. ATX-200 uses adjusting screw(AP6577/S) +Adjuster spring(AP6578) + three O-rings(1159, 1409 and 5711).
While ATX-50 uses adjusting screw(AP6577/1). No idea what is the difference between 6577/s and 6577/S.
