    Nathan,
        I have sold, repaired, and used the G250 for the last 15 
years or so. It is in my opinion the most reliable and easy breathing 2nd 
stage on the market! although I have not used the G500, after looking 
at the inhilation vacuum and exhaust pressure specs, there should be 
almost no noticeable difference between the two in breathing 
charicteristics.
         As a general rule of thumb, I never by new models the first 
year that they are introduced. Often there seem to be glitches in the 
first year; this is true whether a car, diving equipment or military 
hardware. If your going to buy this year, get a MK20-G250. If your 
going to wait till next year, ask people what they think and make 
your own decision.
       Finally, remember the first stage is as important as the 
second stage for technical diving. It is the first stage that 
will limit how many cubic feet of air you can get per second when 
you are in two or three hundred feet of water. The second stage  
only controls how hard you will have to suck to get the air to flow.

      Good Diving
