You can never have too many good quality regs - it will become *one of your many* your bail out regs.

*blink* Ummm...just how many do you need? I'm planning a BOV setup so I *think* I only need one backup reg on me, plus deco and stage tanks...

I figured I'd have the 80s from my OC rig oxygen cleaned and use them for deco and stage, with 13s on a Megalodon and twin 30s for backup/bailout (in principle I don't like the idea of bailing out onto rebreather diluent tanks, backup should be a completely redundant system). Oh yeah, and are the Apeks ATX50 or ATX40 "good enough" for technical deep? For obvious reasons I want to start with a relatively inexpensive, low-end regulator, but I want to get one that I can use as a deco or stage tank when I graduate to technical.
