It's looks nice, but so far I haven't had a problem with the Paragon - granted that I've only used at 45m, and that wasn't in anger.

What are the perceived benefits of the mares reg... easier spares perhaps?

Cheers

Rich the benefit is you have a regulator that will not let you down at the worst possible time. Trust me taking a couple little sips while all is well is quite different from pulling hard on the paragon. The paragon performs so poorly at depth under a load that it is possible to invert the exhaust valve, been there done that and it aint pretty.

Some have already modifyed the dsv to accept good regs. Now you can have a stock adaptor from Jetsam.!!! My advise is run dont walk to the post office & get the money to Jetsam as soon as they are available!
