| as other have said, you won't go wrong with apeks. I've got a pair og the older TX50s and a TX40 all with the DS4 non-turret and am completely happy, though obviously they are not the only good make. Onto specific points - the DS4 is fine on a single and to be honest can't see much point in turret. also the turreted DST has one different sized port & hose which is silly and a nuisance if you need to swap hoses. as some others have said, just get a pressure gauge not a big console. And do get a nice big brass one that you can actually read like the 63mm one our Mr ninkanks sells. finally at least have a think and read about the "long hose" (ie 2m long) thing. Wrongly seen as a techie thing by some, but I had one on my first bought regs and can see no disadvantage at all.
usual caveat - I'm far less experienced than most here, but a couple of years ahead of you and hence been through all thses questions not that long ago mysels Now diving twins and sling cylinder but still use same regs & long hose on recent holiday with single tank  |
