Suggest consideration of the Apeks T-50.  This is one of the two regs
that are touted as the standards for technical diving.  In the US they
are distributed by Zeagle as the Zeagle Tech50D.  But if you go to a
canadian website you can find Apeks dealers.  The advantage of using a
candian dealer is, given the current US/Canadian exchange rate, you can
save considerable $$$ over buying either a Zeagle or Scubapro reg from a
US dealer.
