   Dennis,
       The swivel is not a weak point. It has been utilized by 
Scubapro and other manufactures for 25+ years starting with the 
Scubapro MK 5.

     While almost all low pressure manifolds are 200 bar and the 
MK10+  Din first stage will work on them, why would you want to limit 
your self? It is unlikely you will ever replace this regulator ( Scubapro
regulators generally stay in diving longer than their owners due ). 
For about $25 more, you can have a first stage that will work on any 
Din valve.

       Safe Diving
