Agree. Even the T20 - I think.

Please note that I said "Were I to buy new backgas regs now ...".

The rationale (G, please correct me if I'm wrong) is that an air balanced reg 
is more sensitive than a non-air balanced one. And as the backup reg hangs 
around your neck - maybe even with the mouthpiece facing upwards (at times) 
-  you'd want a reg with as low 'spillage' as possible. Many of the air 
balanced regs (including SP and Apeks) may 'seep' ever so slightly when they 
are around your neck.
