First, you can mail order any of the Halcyon Gear from their shop in 
FL.  Check the website for 800 numbers.  I only know the local # 904 454-0811.

I have a set of Diverite wings and 2 sets of Halcyon wings.  The DR wings 
are ok and they did a free repair after 3 years of use, but when you 
compare them to the Halcyons side-by-side it is very obvious that the 
Halcyons are made from better materials and are better put together .  Buy 
the Halcyons.

I have never heard anything good about their regulator.  This subject has 
been covered extensively on the forums recently.  Why not get the Apeks?  I 
also have had very good luck with the Oceanic Piston with the Delta II 
second stage.  I have one that I have used for years and the only 
maintenance I have done is a periodic cleaning (only required because I use 
it on my O2 tank that sometimes gets dropped in a silty cave bottom and 
picks up some crude).

I also have a Diverite Al backplate and a Halcyon SS backplate.  I have had 
no problems with the DR Al backplate as long as you get it with the 
correct, one piece harness.  However, again, the DR backplate I have is 
several years old and I have not looked at the newer units.
