this unit is clearly being marketed and sold by OMS regardless of who designs and manufactures it.
Sort of like the old US Divers regulators that were all made by Sherwood.... (as were Voit), and the vast majority of BCs being made by Soniform, or all the other diving items: There are are marketing companies in the diving world, and engineering companies, and manufacturing companies. Firms that do all three are scarce. Nobody can claim this as an OMS "Product"... and adding or removing the OMS logo in the head is a matter of changing a few lines of CAD/CAM code. Heck, it could say "Diver Daves Rebreather" in the next manufacturing run.... if I pay a fee.
So, is there some *point* to this nitpicking? For a rig at it's current state of design, it is *very* impressive. That's no matter who displayed it in their booth, who designed it, or who built it.
