Getting updated Gear?

[David B Anderson]

I have a scubapro MK17 with a S555 . I was thinking of upgrading to a newer unit since I have had this gear for 7 years. It is in great shape and serviced properly. Is it really going to make that big of a difference? if I go to a MK25 evo and a A700 or a titanium 620?

no

nope...

oh wait..I screwed up....

You'd be much better off to get new (and send me that old junk)......

The only thing I did with a S555 was to upgrade it to a metal barreled S600.....

Been cave diving with 6 MK20 G500’s made in 1998. Regular service and upgrades. No problems.

As the trend appears above. I've dove both the s555 and a700 (borrowed, I dive the mk12) and given the equal option would pick the newer design.

But wouldn't pay more than a few bucks for the premium to do so. The upgrade is barely noticeable in a meaningful way for me. Titanium I'm interested in from a maintenence perspective, but don't know how that translates to real service life.

I joined this board because I wanted response to questions with candor. I thank you all and appreciate the responses.
