Subject: RE: Seeking regulator recommendation

The T50D first stage in that package has a swivel 1/2" port, which is a
totally unncessary convolution.  The DS-4 is the correct choice for the
first stage from apeks/zeagle.  This reg has excellent port configuration
for DIR, and doesn't have the BS swivel 1/2" port.
