Consequently, it's a bit shorter, too.

>What are people's opinions on the swivel turret?

I have never had problems with those but theoretically, a non-swirvel 
should be better. I like swirvels on the deco bottles - my hose will run 
nicer.

>Has anyone got any experience with the new Apeks TX100 (Zeagle Flathead 
>6)?

Yup! I have one. I like it over the T50D for the back gas as there is no 
swirvel. The second stage is a bit nicer too. Some of the early models had 
some probs. but they are solved now to the best of my knowledge.

>Also, are the Beuchats the same as the Apeks?

Beuchat use some of Apeks' second stages but the first stages are - from 
what I hear - made by Seemann Sub.
