My T2 reg delivers a flawless dive every time, irrespective of the conditions. Total respect. It's my very favourite piece of kit, although the Suunto D9 pushes it pretty close....
 
Speaking from a maintenance standpoint, if you have an environmentally sealed Atomic, the first stage is a royal pain in the ass to service. The technician has about 2oz. of Christo-Lube MCG-111 (at $200/lb.) to dig out of from behind the pistion and in the main spring. Very messy!! We also charge an extra $30 for the Christo-Lube we use to re-pack the chamber after service.

Atomics are sweet breathers, but I'll stick with my sealed Zeagle. It's just as sweet a breather and it doesn't have the CL to worry about. I'd own a non-sealed Atomic in a heartbeat!
