Would you mind listing the 25 moving parts in a MK25, please? If you need a schematic I can send you one.

Have you been able to try either regulator underwater? That's the first thing I would do.
Personally, I have used the same US Divers (Aqualung) regulator for almost 15 years now. As the old ad said, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
My training and check-out dives were done with SP regulators and I dived with one as recently as 4 years ago. I'll keep my Conshelf.

I got the Aqua Lung pro qd i3 bc. Love having in the inflater down low instead of on my shoulder, it is very easy to use, being that I have really long arms. The balance of the BC was great, I was not listing at all and felt great and streamlined. The computer is the Sunnuto Gekko, I will really get to use it this week in the lake, if the weather is good.

Glad you like your stuff! 
I recently replaced my 8 year old Abyss, which was a great reg for sure, but tended to draw a little rough down deep. I bought a Legend on the recommendation of a tech diver who told me he had 2 on his rig, and they breathed the same at 180 as at 40. I got a chance to test it out last weekend in Cozumel...dropped down to 130 on Santa Rosa...and man am I happy with that reg...absolutely no difference in breathing down at 130 than at much shallower depths. I'm hopefully going to get many great years out of this one.

That is the same problem I had in Cozumel too. When I was under about 60 feet the Oceanic reg I was using there would almost push a little too much air, so I got a different one for the next dive and it was the same thing. For a new diver it made trying to attempt good buoyancy more difficult. Your experience with the legend is what people told me it would do and exactly why I bought it, glad to hear your positive response too.
