I have to agree with Scot... I took the Poseidon repair course and found that
there are some quirks to adjusting them CORRECTLY, but when it IS done right,
they perform beautifully.  I've dove mine to 300+ with excellent results.  As
far as reliability goes, there is also little I have ever seen go wrong.  Keep
them clean and tuned correctly and they will take good care of you.  I don't
even experience the annoying problems rumored to happed at shallow depths.

As far as the D-400 goes, I haven't dove one, and haven't dove ANY reg 400+
feet, so I can't really comment on them from deep experience, but I can say
they are great breathers when adjusted proplery too.  I think that's always the
key....PROPER adjustment and tuning for the conditions you dive.
