Here's my problem. I beginning to narrow down my choices for computer, reg, and exposure suit. However, each of my choices is only carried by different LDSs, and additionally, many of the LDSs seem to sort of downplay or even bad-mouth brands I'm interested in.
Specifically, I think I want:
Atomic ST1 regulator
Oceanic Atom 2 computer
White's Fusion Drysuit
Not sure of my BC but know I want a back-inflate, and maybe even a backplate/wing.
The place I went today that carries the drysuit is telling me that Oceanic computers are super unreliable, so they don't carry them anymore. One of the regulators I'm potentially interested in, a ScubaPro seems to be over $100 over the price quoted in ScubaDiving mag's test labs.
I'm worried about buying a reg from someone, but then having someone else service it. Plus, now that our lovely governor has added yet another 1% sales tax, we're talking about 6% sales tax, so buying $3K worth of stuff is another $200 in tax.
Any thoughts?
