Actually, Jim Bowden talked about this in his Zacatun dive report. At 900
feet, you gotta press your BC inflate button a loooong time. I forget what BC
he had, but they are working on the internals in the power inflator for larger
diameters and faster flows. One fix they had was they noticed some of the
quick connectors had smaller internal diameters than others, and some even had
little crossbars across their apertures to keep debris out of the plumbing.
Most of these connectors had the same thread size, so they changed out the
tiny ones for better flow. I'm not sure if this helped significantly, but it
might be one of the differences between your two systems. If that is the case,
they I guess the changing connectors would be significant.
