I have worked with both XS Scuba and Zeagle reg sets. I bet they are likely made in the same factory in Taiwan (not Red China). I would suggest you invest in a quality reg from AquaLung (made in France), Apex (also AquaLung brand made in the UK), Scuba Pro, or even Oceanic. I know with the Aqualung brands you will have excellent worldwide service, and there are many Scuba Pro dealers as well. Don't think that Zeagle provides bang for the buck. Also, Zeagle now is owned by the same company that owns Atomic. Would not be surprised if Zeagle regs went away, as they would compete with Atomic regs being sold in by the same dealers. Just my opinion, but based on dealing with several thousand sets of gear in the past 3 years.
