| Makes a lot of sense, I mainly use manifolded twins but when I have gone with twindies I haven't added an extra reg. The long hose does seem a v.good idea though, have looked at quite a few peoples kit and this seems to be fairly common. I suppose if you were diving a twinset then you could run an extra reg with a long hose but keep it bungeed out of the way on your cylinder, thus having the 3 regs but still keeping the streamlining of kit. I also suppose that it becomes a potentially easier situation if you always dive with the same small group as everyone gets to know each others kit (not in a 'dark-side team situation).
HTH,

EDIT : If you have had time to reassess gas and all and have noticed your guage dropping like a tuppeny wh**es pants then you have probably had time to calm your buddy down and lower his air consumption.....maybe.....who knows!!
