Thanks for the replies. My mistake, (or rather Scubapro's :-) makes sense that the real figure would be 1800 not 800. I thought about the second figure being cubic feet but dismissed it because the L/min figure wasn't big enough. Didn't even enter my head it would be an unflattering typo.

I want to be able to remove the cover of the reg and clean sand/mud out of it in a big hurry without tools under water. Who cares if it takes you 3 hours to get it apart in the workshop. You're not breathing canned air.] The ease of servicing is also something that hadn't really occured to me when I purchased the reg. As I said 7-8 years ago, I didn't service my own gear back then. Even for just general maintenance it's easier if you can just unscrew the front.

Which is why I chose it over Poseidon originally.
