From what i read above I asume the valve seat fault was fixed in later modles but it put me right off. I witnesed two of them go bang and fail one had just come back from repair.

What do you mean bow up?? if you mean a rush of gas from the second upon opening the valve thats normal as the design uses a pilot valve and it needs gas to set.. if you put you hand over the mouthpiece when opening the valve the pressure equalizers rapidly and there is very little gas flow, open to the atmosphere it takes a second or 2 to seat.. All regs of this design have to work this way..
