Unless you intend to do a lot of traveling and ounces in your baggage count - go with the Abyss.
The Abyss all metal 2nd stage helps with dry mouth and the wider exhaust T make for less bubble interference - this a great regulator. There is no measurable difference in performance and underwater there is no apparent difference in weight between the two.
The only difference between the 1st stages is the weight and as I said before, this is only important if you travel and must keep weight down. And this should not be a real problem, since normally, I would suggest you carry your regs in your carry-on.
