Richard >What are people's opinions on the swivel turret? This is only an opinion as I own the US4's (same as DS-4's but no environmental seal). The swivel is useful on a stage to facilitate better hose routing when stowed and later in use. A failed o-ring on a stage is less severer as the cylinder valve can be operated or the reg switched out for another stage. On the back gas it serves no use and is a failure point. I use the US4's for inter changeability and less failure points. I get better stage routing comfort with a 42" hose. David Shimell Project Manager, Sequent Computer Systems Ltd., Weybridge, UK.

The > DS-4 is basically a T50D first stage with all the faults ironed out of it :-) As I understand it the DS-4 is the same as the 50D but without the swivel turret and with 4x3/8" LP ports instead of 3x3/8 + 1x1/2". Please put me right if I got this wrong. What are people's opinions on the swivel turret? Has anyone got any experience with the new Apeks TX100 (Zeagle Flathead 6)? Also, are the Beuchats the same as the Apeks? The Apeks web page only lists Zeagle as an official distributor.
