[/list]IMVHO- The hose routing is a setup issue, mine came with hoses around the outside- go figure. Also they've removed the Pargon, currently it ships with the Mares but yes- Paragon is/was poo.
Its imposable to rout the dill outsie the unit without getting an after initial purchase plug for the manifold. I have modified my unit in several ways but I dont think thats relevent to the concept of faults with the standard unit.

I (as a non-Inspiration diver) do not understand the pos/neg issue, I don't find the short tests that are possible an issue, I have not yet failed to detect a setup defect with the pos or neg.
As an ex inspo diver I do find the pos neg issues with the KISS a little alarming. Especialy in the light of the poor flood tolerance of the unit. However i do longish dives and perhaps am more sensitive to the issue. I know when i have had neg failures on the KISS its been very hard to do a good poss to enable fault tracing.
Also with neg tests i live in constant fear of damaging the ADV.

Lastly the inability to connect offboard gas, lack of HUD and design WRT to flooding aren't "faults" they are design features... a fault is the diabolical PPO2 displays provided as standard which IMO are not fit for purpose (and you missed them off your list?)
Your design feature is my fault

My list is (of actual faults common to stock KISS, IMO)-
1. Shocking electronics WRT flooding and battery changes.
2. ADV, use of, position of, reliability
