There are several ways of looking at this.  For me, servicing on a regular
basic, say at least one time a year ensures that each stages is tuned, has
new parts, is cleaned, and checked by someone who does this all the time.
At $20 per stage this is, to me a pretty good deal.  While one can be
trained to do this work yourself, I've not thought this the right way to
approach fundamental life-saving equipment maintenance.

Sure - this is a "service" add-on from most shops; but it does appear one
of the better deals in the industry.  And if its service versus a $3K
overseas dive trip hanging in the balance, gee...
