Stephan,
While I am very aware of all the Hammerheads features and copycat meg style, I am interested to know if you have owned and dived either and the above post is not based on marketing spec sheets,
I would also be interested to here from people with say over 100hrs on the hammerhead CCR without any electronic issues, as I have read quite a few post about issues on the HH electronic and not to many about Apecs problems
When I brought my first vision it was full of bugs Im now on my fourth electronic.
I have over 700 hrs on my meg and its only been to the factory once in 3 years for the upgrade to 2.06, thats good going
I think I was more upset last night when I wrote the post that Bazza had categorized the MEG with a classic inspiration now based on bells and whistles and built in deco it may be true but absolutely not on the whole product, I currently own a few of these units and the best is bar far my Apecs meg.
Hi Matthew,
I make it a policy not to get involved in these "my rig is better than your rig" type discussions. I don't think they ever lead anywhere, and people just get worked up over issues that just can't be decided over the internet. I was wondering however why you are of the opinion that the HH CCR is a "copycat" meg? I can actually see very little similarity between the two units. They have completely different electronics, HH has BOV as standard equipment, radial scrubber as standard, space for 4th cell, DIVA vibrating HUD as standard, deco software, bayonet locking system on canister and the list goes on and on. I'm not implying that one is better than the other. It wouldn't do any good if I did! They are different. The fact that they both have a center canister with tanks mounted externally on the sides, is pretty much all they have in common aside from standard rebreather functions that almost all units have in common. They do look somewhat similar, but looks are not all that important in the overall scheme of things.
Not trying to be argumentative, just understand where you are coming from.
Kind regards,
Randy
