MARES V16 Proton XL reg..

[Cheerpig1]

A sports store here in town is offering the Mares v16 Proton XL regulator to the first 30 customers at 200.00 off. Since I have not purchased gear before I thought I would ask does anyone have it? How do they like it? For those that have used other regs, how does it compare? I am a small female and only plan to use it in warmer water. I am very new to scuba so any input is appreciated.......I was not planning on purchasing equipment until I determined how often I will dive hopefully several times a year, then I got this advertisement so I thought what they hey! I just do not want to wait in line if it is not worth it!

I noticed a thread where some stated that it makes a weird noise...is that still occuring or has it been corrected? What do you like the most about it if you use it, what do you like the least?

Just in case you don't want to wait in line at Sport Chalet Saturday - the $200 off is from MSRP not the price the reg usually sells for. Leisure Pro has it on sale for $190.

Saguaro Sports in Mesa will match Internet pricing on stuff they sell. Not sure if they stock Mares gear.

I usually shop at scubatoy.com, scuba.com and an lds in my area. I don't like sport chalet at all.
