If its not too late take a look at the Mares Abyss/MR22's, I also own
Scubapro mk15/G250's,  The Mares has got to be the dependable reg. in my
group ( in addition to the above I also have a CressiSub a couple of
ProSubs and an older AMF SwimMaster).  The Mares performs as well as the
MK15's  and at depth ( 200 ft. range ) in cold water, the G250 have the be
adjust to the point where they a on the verge of freezing-up to breath as
easily as the Mares (and exhibits no freezing or freeflowing ) does.  Also
I once did a shore dive with a buddy in some heavy surf and after a very
rough exit, I found that all the regs (he was using my equip.) EXCEPT for
the Mares Abyss, were fouled with sand to the point where I could easily
inhale and exhale through the second stages while the first stages were
still connected to the tanks and the tanks were turned off !!( through the
exhaust ).  All but the Mares that is, the sand had not affected it
whatsoever.  All are easy to clean there the second stage diaphragms but
the Mares upon inspection didn't need cleaning.

Mike.
