And, what do you keep in the spares box for £500? I was expecting a spare cell and maybe a spare display and a set of O-rings

New Kisses come with a Mares second stage. Not many people like the paragon and so change it. Jetsam will sell you the bits though.
My spares box is huge. I have a spare hose, counterlung, brass nut, display, o-rings, cell, etc. etc. etc.
But I rarely use the spares, other than changing the o-rings every year ($20). The big costs are four new cells (3+ a spare) = £220. Lime (about £8 for 3 hours dive time). Batteries (£15 every 30 hours dive time). O2 (£5 every couple of days of diving). Insurance (£30)
It all is dwarfed by the cost of petrol driving to divesites for me.
