The swivel is a low pressure area. I would be more concerned with higher pressure seats and o-rings. The regular MK10 is not made anymore, and now they have the MK10 Plus which can handle higher pressures. Both the MK10+ and MK20 are good regs, it's just a matter of how much you have to spend on them. They come in yoke, or 300 bar DIN. Personally, I buy all DIN, and use a yoke adapter if a DIN tank is not available. -Jon -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
