I'd second that opinion, I cant tell the difference between the Apeks 50 and 200.
The shop will tell you that it's a replaceable valve seat on the 200 1st stage. Where as on the 1st stage of the 50 you need to replace the body if the valve seat wears out. what they dont tell you is the body is only £26! (+ servicing costs, but you'd have to pay them to get a valve seat replaced as well)
In fact I bought a 50/40 combo when I started diving and with hindsight I could have quite hapily just bought a 40/40 combo.
The other top tip is to actualy go up to DW and talk to them, they may have a suit on the rack (either second hand or a cancelled order, or one that someone else miss measured) that fits you perfectly and you'll save a load on it.
