I've got two of these reg's one for me and one for the wife. Mine replaced an ancient MR12 she didn't have a regulator. Mine had an issue at the beginning of its' third dive. We were in Roatan and the local Mares dealer was able to repair it (an o-ring was faulty in the 1st stage). They had no idea what the regulator was and no parts kit on hand but were able to visually match the o-ring to one from another regulator repair kit and install it. It was a Mares product and I had my card - they charged me nothing for the repair. Worked perfect for the rest of the week.
So here's my question, what is inside these things? Is the repair kit from say a proton ice or some other model a drop in for this or are these 2000 items going to become a orphan parts wise? Just what is the major difference internally between a v42 and v32? I'm assuming the 2nd stages are going to be parts kit compatible with the proton metal.
