My shoice as to whether to buy from a dive shop of the net is the price. if it is close i buy from the shop. if not i buy elswhere. my regs (no mentioning brand) was 800 in the shoop and 450 from a well known net seller. there is a point where the cost of dealing local is too much. There are other ways to suport you lds. assesories, exposure items , anything that may have to be exchanged. I bought my tanks locally because it is the lds that did the vis on them. I have delt with my lds that way for years. evreyone gets thier hands on my checkbook over time. There is a price to pay for either way you go. PLAN YOUR BUY, AND AND BUY YOUR PLAN.
As far as teh OP goes. I have a IST reg and have had no problem with it. Three is nothing wrong with oem/unbranded gear.
