Stan, I don´t know the older version of the G250, but I own the newer
version, named G250HP. Coupled with a MK20 first stage, I use it as the
primary regulator, with the long hose. It is the lightest breath I'd had
ever take, except for my buddy's Apexs TX100.

IMHO, the freeflowing is easily avoided just by detuning the button and set
the venturi to minimum (-). I do it before I take it out of my mouth, as in
a s-drill or in a gas switch. In a real OOA situation, a freeflow while
passing the reg is not such a bad thing. It saves the ooa diver from purging
the reg. ^_^

When using it as a secondary, just detune it before getting in the water.
But performance is not a concern as you can "retune" the reg in a second.

Regards
Fabricio

Assunto: Scubapro G250 Changes

Can someone elaborate on the changes made to the new G250+ regulator? Is it
still as good a regulator as ever, or if one was buying a new one would he
or she be better off looking for the old style? I'm putting together a
Hogarthian doubles rig and was planning on using the Mark 20/G250. Is the
G250 too sensitive to free flowing for a secondary (backup) regulator or
should I use something like a R190 for this? I would hate giving up my easy
breathing regulator at depth, but freeflowing is a problem I've had with
another G250 rig. I prefer Scubapro stuff, but would also like to here
comments on the Beauchat VX-10. Thanks in advance for any constructive
comments.
