Todd,

	concerning the pricing of Scubapro equipment you have to keep in
mind that Scubapro explicitly forbids their dealers to discount any of
their products.  So, usually the best you can find is the MSRP unless an
item is discontinued by the manufacturer at which time prices can be
lowered to clear dealer stock (e.g. I bought a Mk15/G250 combo in a
clearance sale for $379).  [Make sure that you have a list of MSRP; some
dealers quote you their higher price as the MSRP when it is clearly not.]
	As far as your question about the Mk20/G250:  I believe I saw it at
one Scubapro dealer in Florida for either $469 or 489.  Whether that is a
reasonable price depends on what you are looking for in a reg...:)

Regards.
