I think you need to look more closely at the recently released scrubber test results from Jetsam before taking the SK below 50mtrs... there is no doubt it can do it but the scrubber just doesn't last that long for technical diving, for recreational stuff its perfect, its the main reason I upgraded.
The SK scrubber is adequate for Sport diving, the CK scrubber is one of the very best currently available, there is considerable difference, I would not want to have an issue on a deep dive where the total dive time takes the scrubber right to the limit better to have some reserve in your pocket.
Finally I'm very sure I wouldn't borrow a rebreather to do MOD3, I would want to do it on my own unit that I'm confident with.
It sucks to have to change your unit but I don't regret it, the cost wasn't so bad as I went KISS to KISS so all the spare and tools could be kept and the skills are almost identical.
