Ok, Poseidon brags that their octos are rated with the same performance as the main 2nd stage. (Although most manufacturers claim this as well)
I was just wondering... why can't I just get a Poseidon octo to use as my main 2nd stage then?
And on that note... what is the main difference between a 2nd stage, and it's octo counterpart? (Mares Abyss vs. Mares Abyss Octo)
Why are octos so much cheaper... even though they are supposed to be emergency equipment? If they are so reliable, why can't they be used as the main 2nd stage?
Are they built differently? Materials? Tuning?
Conversely, is it advisable to use a main 2nd stage as an octo? Say, an old reg rather than getting a new octo?
What are the pros and cons of either scenario? Thanks!!!
