I will not make any comment here on the pros and cons of any specific
regulators, but my thoughts are.....

Not all commercial outlets service/set up regulators to the standard that
perhaps they should for serious usage, despite manufacturer level training.
(qv: references to alternative interstage pressures)

Given the inherent simplicity of the regs I've been involved with, perhaps
there is a great deal to be said for stripping, rebuilding, and servicing
your own regs (or, at a push getting an individual that you trust to guide
you through the process)

I would rather do a penetration dive on a reg that I personally consider to
have no internal defects, but that has no warranty cover, than one with a
lifetime warranty but has not been opened up for just short of a full year.

As an aside, if a reg packs up inside a cave and you reach the end of your
lifetime, who fills out the warranty claim?

Flame on....
