I agree that the PR folks gotta tighten up the pitch for risk of dis-creditting the unit. Likewise for the advertised claims like 'forget enverything you heard about PO2, etc' yadda yadda..

just a thought though...should we give this thing a chance? I am skeptical from what I've heard (I admit I have yet to see the thing), but am trying to keep an open mind considering that the logic behind the unit has come from some of the pioneers in the Rebreather community. Ten years ago, Stone and company gave us the Mk5P which at the time was way ahead of the game, and now look...virtually every unit out there has some bits and pieces that have clearly evolved from the 5P. Maybe, just maybe, and I re-emphasize MAYBE, the Mk6 will pave the way for a next evolution in Rebreather's over the next decade...food for thought
