I would have ordered the DS4 first stage if I had known (turrets do =
nothing for me). Now I'm stuck with it and already have more regulators =
than I need: The Tech 50D, a Poseidon and a ProSub. My preferred doubles =
setup is to have the Poseidon as the one I breathe (pretty impossible to =
clean when fouled) and the Zeagle as the alternate, and then use the =
ProSub as a stage reg. Looks like I need to get a Poseidon long hose if =
I go Hogarthian.

The way to get around this is to order the DS4 first stage. I works the=20
