Ben the dive shop guys will just tell what they sell. While I buy everything I can buy from Jarrod and Robert ( Exteme Exposure and Halcyon), I also am a great customer of every shop in this town and many others , since nobody seems to have all the right stuff at any given time. Somebody on here knows where to get that manifold. I got all of mine from one of the guys on our team, and I do not know where he got them, but he not only got them, he got them with the correct center section ( beware the dive shop monkey on this one) and he got them dirt cheap. I will go ahead and tell you the real problem with these dive shop strokes - they are all dealers in the worst crap , the lowest common denominator of dive gear, and not for any of the good stuff usually. We all know what those two names are in dive gear. The problem is that one of those two stroke outfits does not pay its bills, so got cut off from it supplier of manifolds, so makes up bullshit about the subject while scrambing to come up with subtitutes. This leaves the bozo shops with no good manifold, so they sell either the other piece of dung, or something far worse, usually the latter. Obvviously , the Scuba Pro dealers have the 200 bar version of the correct manifold. Any time any dive shop primate tells you not to listen to me, you tell them to phone me up and try to tell me this bullshit.
