Re: Why you chose a Classic KISS over a Sports KISS and vice-versa

I bought the CK because it was more like what I needed. I dive mostly out of the back of a Jeep and I don't tend to dive on holidays so weight wasn't really an issue. I'd heard the Sport wasn't that robust (based entirely on that great information service, gossip) and having had a nosey around them I thought I'll quite easily screw-up/break something on it, as well as thinking that I just don't like the look of it. I also wanted the longer/deeper rating of the CK. As others have said, the CK had been around a while and there weren't really any new unit specific issues getting discovered whereas the SK was new to the market (I'm a professional cynic). Finally, I knew quite a few people with CK's and knew the type of diving they were doing with there's was akin to what I wanted it for.

OK, there was one more... I got my CK for less than the cost of an SK.
