Without being to rude A MEG first gen what a load of rubbish!!!!!
It isn't if you go by electronic features as Bazza did.
Like it or not, the Meg has a setpoint controller and an independent, separate pO2 monitor.
The CCR1000 had that back in '69 ... better even, the 2ndary didn't need a power supply.
Oh yes, the HUD ... the MK16 had that back in the 80s ... that's 1st gen.

The meg has very solid reliable electronic
I doubt the current generation Hammerhead electronics are any less reliable than the current generation APECS electronics. They've been used for years to replace 1st gen electronics on the MK series, Inspirations etc.

great modular design
The Hammerhead has the same, great modular design, as do many other rebreathers that have a stack in the center and tanks attached to it.

plenty of scrubber options
Axial and radial, in two sizes, right?
Who needs a choice of axial or radial? We already know how well radials perform since Steam Machines released their PRISM scrubbers and outperformed axials of the same size.
The Hammerhead offers two sizes radial, too. The larger one, we already know, last longer than the Meg's, no matter how Leon words it ... which seems to be the point of the large scrubber.
On the smaller scrubbers, we don't know either Mini Meg's or Hobo's duration yet because neither test results have been published.

fantastic trim
That has been said about the Hammerhead CCR, too.

and no thank you to built in deco, bells and whistles for serious diving.
Why? The Hammerhead offers deco on both primary and secondary display, so you have the data calculated by the actual loop pO2, without any extra gear to haul around.
Plus the option to add another cell for yet another deco computer for added redundancy, choice of o-t-s or rear-mounted counterlungs, choice of HUD display modes, choice of gas injection modes, etc.

That being said vibrating HUD would be nice.
It got that, too, as well as a BOV.
