Re: CIS LUNAR Mark 5P VS. Ouroboros

I still dont buy your Hollywood arguement. Howard Hall has done more deep filiming than anyone and he uses Mk15's/15.5's...equally capable with the Cis and Boris

I do not dispute that the Cis is still a powerful tool, and was way ahead of its time. But from your profile, indicating that you have no prior CCR experience, we can't help but think you are a troll. I find it hard for someone to build an arguement between these two units based on who they see on tv with no experience otherwise.

in any case, these tools are only as good as those that can drive them. Insp has been sub 200m, as has Boris, Cis, Meg, and others. All have been dived in caves, all using mixed-gas, and all seen on tv (for what its worth).

being a multiple unit owner..in my opinion...buy one that is new, with a warrantee, hard and software upgrades readily available. For a first unit, I also dont think there is any reason to spend more than $10k, BUT between the two you are discussing, go Boris for the simple fact that they are readily available.
