I am tempted to go and do an Inspiration rebreather course because of the fact I currently know people who use the unit.
That's what I did.
Courses at beginner level are very unit specific because you need to be able to take it to bits and then know why you didn't get it back together right.
Above that I see less justification for being strongly unit driven.

What are the downfalls of chosing this particular rebreather.
Not very trendy but you can usually borrow the bit you just dropped over the side from somebody as they are getting to be common as muck in the UK. Three in my BSAC club and BSACees aren't the most eager grabbers of technology.
I like the ol' yellow box and I'll defend it as as good as the rest but even I can't claim it's seriously better. It's rather like buying 150bhp sports motorbikes: you have to be a very special person to discover the differences let alone exploit them. I also like the way I phone AP and the stuff is on my desk next day. OK so I break things. I'm like that.
