The 20 is the 50 ( or 100 ) minus the adjustment,
and is fine so long as the intermediate pressure is
turned down - it still has a balance chamber,
although with Apeks regs there is a guard over the
diaphragm which reduces the easy freeflows, you can
adjust the pressure anywhere you want it, the seat
is far tougher than anyone else's so you can keep it
tight, the  orifice and orifice o ring are far
superior and will not hiss like the others, there is
a collar around the ears on the lever so you can add
spring tension without popping it out, there is a
baffle in the right place, the mushroom is far
superior and will not drown you like the others in
odd positions, the discharge is correct and not made
to pretend some high flow bullshit , so does not
allow water back in, the fittings are all first
class high quality stuff, not the dogshit in the
other regs, and the materials are all first class,
unlike the other regs which are cheap ass pieces of
crap with ridiculous price tags.

You can not beat an Apeks reg with anything on this
planet. The first stages are far superior to
anything out there, and you can remove the huge,
piston like rubber seat and smooth it for use over
and over an over again. I own one set of Apeks spare
parts and 15 Apeks regs. If I ever get to use the
spare parts, I'll put it on this list. I have some
Apeks regs that are 8 years old without service.

By way of comparison, I have a 400 dollar repair
bill so far this year on second stages alone of
another make. What does that tell you?
