If you're planning on doing coldwater diving, you might want to go with another reg. The Oasis is designed for warm water diving.
Actually the Oasis was a cold-water regulator in the beginning. The moisture retention fins helped in reducing ice formation.
It became a hit in the in the warmer areas for it's moisture recycling qualities. Sherwood then renamed it to the Oasis.
According to my local Sherwood rep.
LP is not an authorized dealer for Sherwood. Scuba.com will give you the same price and the full manufacturers warranty.

LP offers the exact same warrenty that the mfg offers. Don't let the misinformation about warrenties deter you from buying from them
That being said...I own an Oasis, purchased from a LDS and have been very happy with it. I would have been happier, if I had saved a ton of money when I bought it.

Most of my dives have been done in warm waters also so make sure what you are purchasing suits your diving style.
LP does not offer the same warranty as the LDS. According to "Sam" at LP, LP offers their own warranty.
According to Sherwood, LP is not an authorized dealer for Sherwood and cannot offer the manufacturer's warranty.
Check your facts, you can call Sherwood directly at 949-581-1300.

That is EXACTLY what I said. The LP warrenty is EXACTLY the same as the mfg. They will back up the product just like the mfg will.
YOU need to quit spreading misinformation. Also...lets see, if I go to the scuba.com website, I find the Oasis for 269.99 and according to my LP catalogue, it is 219.99. Now if I just place my order, I sort of miss out on that matched savings you talk about also. Scuba.com is only compatible if you phone your order in...and that is if they will match the price. Which then you call LP and see how low they will go etc.
So get off your high horse and let the individual make his own decision based on REAL facts not misleading information.

LP does not have the exact warranty as the manufacturer. Call LP and ask them, they will be honest and state that they offer gray market gear, without the manufacturer's direct warranty. As a result it is not the exact same thing. Buying the regulator from a LDS gets you the manufacturer's warranty. Thats why LP offers you their own personal warranty. LP's warranty is only good with LP. At least the Sherwood warranty is honored at any LDS.

Gray market is the term used when the reseller does not buy directly from the manufacturer. I have bought a strobe from LP and had the information manual come in German. When I contacted Sea & Sea, I received a quick lesson on possible warranty problems.
As far as the Avid, it seems to look like the Zeagle Ranger. I have been a Zeagle fan for some time.
