Hi,
The Azimuth is a very big unit for what it does. When I say big maybe I should say huge! That's probably one of the many reasons we don't see more units around. Apart from the size it also breath like a cow if you don't have the body size: on slim people diving wet, the CL are way too far away from the back of the diver. (In Asia it was a big issue when we tried to sell it).The trim is also very poor with the 2 tanks on the bottom it's but heavy. Correcting the trim will make the unit even heavier as it has been said already.
Unless you get it very cheap, don't bother and go fo a Dolphin or even better a kiss or ECCR.
I' d go startight CCR. Well... that's my 2 cents. Been lucky enough to be paid to dive a Dolphin then an Azi and happy Meg diver now.

Yann.
