I recently bought some used equipment off eBay to use on a 19cf pony I got earlier this year and now I'm not 100% sure how I want to configure it. (Of course I plan to have all the gear serviced over the winter before diving with it).
I'm wondering what recommendations SBers can make to help me with this?
My existing equipment this year has been:
* Oceanic GT-3 w/ CDX-5 yoke
* Oceanic Alpha 8 Octo
* Genesis SPG
The used equipment I just got (for under $250) is:
* Oceanic Delta-3 w/ CDX-5 DIN & yoke adapter
* Oceanic Alpha 7 w/ short hose
* OMS small gauge w/clip
I was considering setting up this way:
Main rig:
* GT-3 w/ DIN CDX-5 (for the DIN/yoke option)
* Alpha 8 Octo
* SPG
Pony:
* Alpha 7 on short hose
* OMS gauge
That would leave the Delta-3 as a backup in case of reg failure. I know it's technically a step up from the GT-3, but I've been diving that all year and it's comfortable. And it seemed silly to put the Delta-3 on the pony as it won't see much use besides testing (never OOA'd yet, don't plan on it)..
Any suggestions?
