I know that plenty of people swear by their MK25's (and I do own some) but I don't like having that those turret o-rings on my backgas - an unnecessary failure point (and yes I have has issues in the past).

The DS4 has fewer failure points and very nice hose routing.

Each to their own....

I thought someone had rescued HM ? Or was it just maybe being rumoured that someone was doing ?

The HM ones are touch wider IIRC. The actual difference.... Other than HM being more expensive not much. The Agir ones securely hold the cylinders together and prevent stressing the manifold which is what you want bands to do. HM ones don't do that any better from what I can see.
