Interesting I use the sherwoods on my deco stages because of their 
total dependability and have done so for years.

I have never encountered the freeflow problems you relate to and I 
hardly ever do more than wash the regs off. 

while I use a mixture of posiedon and scubapro first stages on my 
bottom mix regs (as I have backups) I would not consider them near as 
dependable as a deco stage reg.
