	While converting my US Divers Arctic SEA first stages
	to DIN (yay, about time too) I realized that my main
	reg, that with the long hose, has a smaller port in the
	first stage body than my back-up reg.

	Now, admittedly, with the current standard OW setup,
	my main reg would be on that larger port. However, is 
	this practice common among other manufacturers? 
	Why do they do it and does it make any difference.

	Actually, I can answer the last question. No it doesn't
	appear to. I have no problem breathing the right hose
	at depth in cold, it works just fine. 

	To my surprise, these regs allow good tidy hose routing.
