You like it even more, Mike, you bought it, remember?

No agenda here on my part, I like just about everything about the 'boris that I've seen so far, with the one exception being the rather steep price tag. And there are two ways of looking that, either Kevin's price is to high or Stefan's income too low.

Kevin G. told me before he CEed the rig that it wouldn't have to comply with all breathing performance requirements. I'm glad it it doesn't, as that would all but eliminate backmounted CLs.

I'm curious about WOB test results comparing stock an membrane versions, more out of curiousity than anything else. Same for the membranes used in the Cis. Don't really care too much if they fall within CE or not, either one feels comfortable breathing on the loop or not. That's really all there is to it.

Has the Prism passed CE ???
Not that I know of, but the WOB results are published.

No idea how they compare to other rigs (that are mostly unpublished), but out of the units I dove or played with in the pool it's hands down the best WOB I've experienced.
