Jules, the Zeigle he is asking about and the Beuchat VX10 are one and the same, made by Apex. The principle benefit of the APex is that is is not finnicky at all, and is hard to fail. I have eight of them (seconds), and have never rebuilt one, and do not even have the parts to do it. I have ten Scuba Pro G-250's, which are more like the Ferrarri of regs, but then I have all of the parts and know how to service them. The Scuba Pro will last forever if you do not adjust it, and the breathing is the best. I like the Pro for all deco bottles, since they have to be brreathed the longest, the pro for my long hose, the pro for most stages, but the Apex for backup, salt water, and any application where finicky is out of the question. - G On Sat, 07 Dec 1996, Tomsits <odyssey@at*.mi*.co*> wrote: >Hal, > >I can't give much input on the Zegale because frankly I haven't seen to >many of them. >As for the Dacor stay clear.

Good luck... but luck really has little to do with it. >- Julius Tomsits > >At 10:10 AM 12/7/96 -0500, you wrote: >>Can anyone please tell me the comparitive differences between the following >>second stages... >> >>Scubapro G250B >>Dacor XLP >>Zeagle Tech50D >> >>Thanks in advance for your constructive advice. >> >>Hal >> >> > > George M.
