Personally:

12L Heisers (Nice and heavy)
AGIR 6mm Steel backplate (Nice and Heavy reducing amount of weight needed)
AGIR Manifold (Excellent quality piece of kit)
AGIR Bands (wide and solid)

(sounding like my kit!!)

Frog Wing (looks excellent quality and fed up of paying Halcyon prices for stuff which is no better)
Apeks TX40 & TX50 with DS4s (believe they are now ATX or XTX)- (Reliable reg, spares in abundance, well supported and I won't buy Scubapro ever again after they tried to rip me off)
AGIR SPG (solidly built, feels nice in the hand and very clean/clear display)

Well.....apart from the Wing......it's my kit!!!

1 X Twin Heisers 232 bar - Best trim characteristics
Complete Set of Miflex Xtreme Hoses - Last twice as long as standard Hoses
Twin Titanium Scubapro Mk25s (£600 a pop, but lovely routing and weighting)
Scubapro Second Stages
Highland Mills Bands
Halycon Isolator and Valves
Halcyon Evolve 40 Wing

I reckon this setup would cost you about £2500.00, but you said money was no object.

40lb is enough for twin 12s and three ALi Stages. If you are going to use steel stages then you need a rethink, but for the diving I do with 12s and Ali stages, 40lb is plenty.

Pretty much as above, but with an OMS 45lb wing. Not sure why people get bigger wings just for a twinset. As for regs would defintely go for ambidextrous (i.e. Poseidon) regs or at least regs which can be changed from left to right (i.e. XTX40). So much nicer if diving indies as I do. The new Apeks Tek first stages look great too.

and off we go with the discussion. I looked at the Tec stages, but they are left ansd right handed, which means they are obviously not interchangeable. This doesn't work for us.

no discussion needed . adamaldred simply asked what twinset we would go for if money was no object and that was my answer. as i dive indies, handed regs are a very nice thing to have.
