Welcome to the board.

One bit of really cool info is that this board has way more smilies than The Deco Stop, and a higher limit on how many can go in a post.

The dark side is definately not going to make your bank balance happy.

But it does sound like an opertunity to learn first hand from your mates about ECCRs. Take advantage of that opertunity. I am guessing that you are not planning on buying more than one unit so you should get all the info you can and the unit that what will be best for you.

"Mechanical" does not mean more reliable than "Electronic". Both are types of machines and like all things made by man, imperfect.

You're correct. I don't have any plans on buying more than one unit. That said, i didn't plan on diving anything more than single cylinder either, so i'll remain open minded!

Your last comment is spot on. I'm an aircraft engineer by trade and if things didn't break, i'd be out of a job

. There is a local (ish) dive centre that often do rebreather try dives on about 4/5 different units for a day. Both a mix of ECCR and MCCR. I think it would be a worthwhile day out for me at this stage, and money well spent in the future.
