Steve, thanks for that. Your suggestion is the most hybridized version of eccr and mCCR i've heard of. It would be great if AP put out an expedition kit that would provide such an option in the event of breakdown in remote locations. Actually just being able to override the controller and run it manually would have been enough to save a lot of heart ache. All the mCCR is safer theory aside, the real deal breaker is weather or not you can safely continue to dive on a trip in the event of a system malfunction. I'll give that some more thought. Maybe something I'll do if I keep the Evo and have two reabreathers
. My wife is going to kill me!

Why don't you install a mCCR feed into your Evolutions, say via the manual O2 port and avoid having to sell and rebuy? That way you have the option of the best of both worlds... a constant flow orifice feeding your system and backed up either by you hitting the bypass or by the solenoid kicking in as a last resort.
You get to keep the Temp Stick, built in Deco and HUD and put less load on the solenoid and batteries. You also have a very cheap conversion back to the real world (sorry
) should you decide that you have made a huge mistake!!
