Manos, while most of your observations are correct, you may have missed some of the good reasons why to choose which gear. The operational flaw of the poseidon regs is that you cannot reach the 2nd stage membrane without tools. This is an issue when you have to deposit and leave bottles at sites where silt and dirt entering the reg can create a problem, really not that much , if at all, on a single dive to a wreck. A likely flaw of the poseidon jetstream is offbleeding when supply pressure drops below , say 40 bar. should not be a problem unles you call for it. Same goes for the clipping. No silt, dirt, corrosion( hopefully), no clipping to vital parts which won't come off under stress, probably no problem . I agree it should be a direktive to be able to loosen any connection made with means on hand durng the dive, though. For the stages, do you know the manufacturer, and their bouancy properties ? For sure ? There are pretty light steel bottles around here.
