Stan, there is so much confusion about the Apeks gear I've started a
FAQ ... see

  http://www.giccs.georgetown.edu/~ric/sports/scuba/apeks/

I'll add more info when I get back next Thursday.

You want the US4 in warm water, the DS4 in cold, and either the
TX50 (adjustable) or TX40 (non-adjustable) for seconds. I just
saw a TX100 second for the first time this morning and it looks
very similar to the TX50, but slightly smaller, and more money
of course :-)

Zeagles are *exactly* the same but with their logo on the purge button
as you surmised. Zeagle used to be the US dealer, now it is SeaQuest,
and I share George's opinion. I have just gone through getting a
new US4 and had a hell of a time. Most SeaQuest dealers had *no clue*
what I was talking about, and when I finally got it they had shipped
me a yoke, even though I ordered DIN. One store didn't even know
what DIN was, but that's a different rant entirely ...

Cheers
Ric
