Hi, John!

Personal opinion here:

Your skills as a diver outweigh getting the best "new" gear.  It seems to 
me that you're taking the right track - getting your skills back up and 
then, if necessary, getting newer gear.

I dove for12 years on one regulator and it's STILL doing duty as a pony 
bottle regulator, 20 years into my diving career.  The old stuff, if it 
was GOOD old stuff will continue to work if you continue to take care of it.

Also, I would take your time so that you have a chance at actually 
looking around, trying, and getting opinions about the modern gear.  
There's always a salesperson that is willing to sell you something even 
if it's not the right thing.  Take the time to learn about the stuff 
before you buy it.

It is hard to disagree with a pro-survival decision,
     It is even harder to engage in prolonged arguments
          with someone who consistently makes anti-survival decisions.
