I’d stick with the same reg for the sake of maintenance and continuity of performance characteristics.

I had to buy a special scubapro tool yesterday, lent it to someone on the never never plan I will call it, never to be seen again, never to be returned.
A crime? I can only believe in karma.
Deleted the rest of the post, too rude, and I am now 'over it' .
A simple tool but a good one "Splined Wrench for Scubapro".
I hate that, making an extra effort for another person and then they take and do not give back. Cannot let it change you
. It is the price of being a good person.

Dive Gear Express sells rebranded versions of the Deep6 regs and stock service kits they sell to anyone at a very reasonable price. I bought one of their Gears D6 second stages as a safe second and the service was terrific.
True but they don't include the 1st service, or free parts for life if you take the class.
Deep 6 is a far better "most bang for your buck" compared to any other reg out there when you add all that in.
The fact that they respond personally on here and elsewhere to the end user is a thick layer of icing on the cake (might actually be part of the cake.. )
OP
Enjoy reading your posts and the knowledge that goes with them.
Sticking with Dep 6, just makes sense to keep them the same.
Now, on to double hoses (someday)

I have a mixed setup of Deep6 firsts and S600/S620ti seconds.
I really like the turreted sealed first stages! The seconds performed great but I didn't like two things about them. I took them off my backmounts but will continue using them for deco bottles because there's nothing wrong with them per se.
a.) The purge button on the D6 is a little tooooo large and can get pressed in and freeflow during a quick push; the button kind of wedges itself in around the edge. Might be a useful to sell an optional cover with a smaller button area like SP or some of the Apeks?
b.) the predive venturi lever is completely seized up on both seconds. Not that I feel I need to use them; the main adjuster does everything you need. Just feedback for product development. Regs soaked overnight or until next dive in freshwater after every dive.

I would rather service my owk regulator set at $30. for first + second stage kits than having to take a take a class. By the way, what is the price of the class and where can I get a schedule of classes offered?
