Peter, I agree, it's more or less OK for the long hose but if you want to run inflator hose from the right post it becomes problematic (or backup reg. from the left post). I've tried TX100 1st stage and I prefer DS4. Also, I don't think you can remove (unscrew by hand) 2nd stage cover with TX100 as you could with TX50, but I'm not sure since I had only TX100 1st stage. Anybody?
