I like everything to be hidden to the eye, so I use all black, in keeping with the concept that atention to detail leaves out no details. Burn the ends. The only possible problem with shock cord is that it maxes out to a stretch limit, whereas the tubing has a huge range. The cord will therefor reach an inelastic point quickly. I stepped on mine sneak diving one night, which would have damaged the reg if it had been cord. Also, if you got it caught on a wreck in a current, you would want the stretch to work with. George M.
