This is not authoritative but the rumor I heard was that it will NOT replace the MK15 but will be added to the lineup. The Mk2, 10, and 15 are all available. The 1995 price list has the Mk10 for $184 (US), the Mk15 for $199 (US) and I heard that the Mk20 will be about $15 more than the Mk15 or about $214. If you buy first and second stage the package retails for about $20 less than the individual items. The Mk15 in this configuration is $20 more than the same 2nd stage with the Mk10 first stage, and the rumor is the Mk20 will be $20 more than the Mk15 when packaged with a 2nd stage. I don't know what the specs are for the Mk20 yet. Scubapro is positioning the Mk10 as a 3000 psi/200 bar 1st stage and the Mk15 as a 4350 psi/300 bar (with DIN fitting) 1st stage. The Mk15 is flow rated at 87 scfm (standard cubic feet per minute) and the mk10 at 73 scfm with a tank pressure of 3000 psi for both. I presume the Mk20 will have a higher flow rate. Rick
