| I am sure I heard somewhere that Aqualung now own Apeks and so their first stages use similar/same technocology and/or parts. I am also sure this little snippet of knowledge was accomanied by someone saying that their Aqualung was a better breathe - although this is a VERY subjective call.
I would go to your LDS, ask to try a few regs on a cylinder to get an idea of weight, shape and breathe and then buy from somewhere else if you really do not want to pout custom the LDS' way.
For my 2p worth, I use Apeks and cannot fault them. I have 3 sets of TX50/TX40 on DST, all bought second hand and all working perfectly. I wouldn't use anything else.
Whatever you decide on, if you are constrianed by budget or just end up favouring a particular brand, then make sure it is cold water rated as you can use this kit anywhere. Also, only go as high up the 'food chain' as you need to - my TX50 is just as good as my Dad's ATX200 IMO.

Mark
