They are both solid units. Maybe you should think about rebreather support in your area. Do others near you dive an Inspo or Meg? Its very nice to have another ccr diver using the same unit nearby. It helps with your ability to compare problems and fixes and you can share spares.

Also, how hard will it be for you to get a Meg back to Seattle for servicing over UK for the Inspo. Consider your travel requirements, training available and YOUR physical size. Consider the Evo also as it is nearly identical to the Inspo but smaller and much lighter for travel and general weighting above and below water.

Also, do you want onboard integrated deco? The Inspo/Evo has this the Meg does not YET. Do you already have a constant partial pressure computer like a VR3? The Inspo/Evo does not require you to have one as the deco software is built in (altjhough its nice to have a back-up like the VR3). The APECS 3 for the Meg should have this option but when will it be available and will there be bugs to work out when it first comes out?? The Meg costs a bit less too.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your explanation!

I'm based in Singapore and I think the regional countries support both models. Seems like the Inspo/Evo is much more advanced compared to Meg however someone told me that when you dive with Inspo/Evo, the internal system (electronics & batteries) will be wet whereas Meg will be dry. Is that so?

Frankly, I new to rebreather. I'm more familiar with OC but wanted to do something for a change. Based on what you had said, does that mean if I choose a Meg, I would need a VR3 to complement it? I believed D9 is out of the question right? :P
