Looking forward to finally diving my new regs tomorrow (New Years day)!
Thanks @cerich.

Well the dive was great. Given the weather lately it was a fantastic morning. The regs performed great. No issues at all. Now it was not a deep dive as we only went to 2nd reef and a bit further out, but it was 20-25 feet.
Regs were comfortable and breathing was easy and effortless.
Had some interesting pieces of advise from the dive store, so much that he insisted that I bring an extra set of regs in the car! It was a WTF moment, but it was his store and his DM. I made a point after to say how amazing the regs were and how effortless to breath.
Bottom line is I am so glad I bought them. No regrets.

Ok, you got my curiosity up. What was the advice?

So I take it you weren't doing a New Years dive at Hanlan's Point.

Glad you like your new regs.

I'd be interested to hear the advice too.

I've been diving my Deep 6 regs since summer and they've been great. My daughter dives the Aqualung Legend LX. About the only thing I liked better about hers was the actual mouthpiece. It definitely seems better in my mouth and I feel less need to bite down as much, just more comfortable. So I just bought an extra Legend mouthpiece and put it on my Deep 6. I do like the Deep 6 1st stage better with the turret type setup for hoses as well as the bottom LP port for routing a longer hose (40-48") underneath my right arm. Great regs!

I have limited experience with mouthpiece but I can see me trying others out in the future.
Other than that I still need to see how they behave in deep dives, but that will not be happening for a while.

I also switched all of my Deep 6 mouthpieces to the Aqualung Comfobite mouthpieces. I suspect they’re the same as the Aqualung Legend ones. Without them, I couldn’t keep the second stages in my mouth on land - they were heavier than I’m used to. But wth the mouthpieces switched out, they felt fine on land and I didn’t feel them at all in the water, which is a very good thing. Breathing was definitely “easy”, so I’m happy with my purchase. I used a 7’ long hose primary with 22” secondary configuration.

Also, I got some complements on the boat and accused of having “flipping” nice gear from the shop staff!

Yes, the Aqualung Legend ones are the same as the Aqualung Comfo-bite mouthpiece. VERY inexpensive way to a great mouthpiece for sure! Agree 100% with your findings above - mine too!

What was the "advice"? I'm gonna go with the sadly all too common LDS BS, hope I'm wrong. Cheers.
