Tough Guy - good question - I use BOTH: my 121's are manifoled togetehr ith my ful hogarthian rig on eitehr side of my rebreather with comoressor lines running from the isolator to complete the manifold. The hoses ,other than the long hose and the pressure guage hose are a tad longer, and there is a hose to my in my breathing block, and there is a hose to the switchblock, but everything is other wise exactly the same. The big diffeernce between me and the others is that I KNOW what I can do on scuba, and KNOW what it takes to get out of there on scuba, and am prepared to do it or any other scuba function, plus I have the giant gas mileage of my rebreather , and it is made and rigged with my concepts in mind, so I can ride it into the dirt before I have to go to scuba, and have all of the tricks and have done them endlessly to do just that - I do it and then talk about it, as opposed to the USDCT strokes who have never done jack shit and ALWAYS talk about it. You will see in the tape.
