Pros and cons to both I suppose?

Cheers.

My solution is probably going to be to put an orifice on my Meg. After diving the KISS and realizing how easy it is to maintain setpoint with an orifice, I think I'll add one.

It will go on just before the solenoid so that the solenoid would still kick in if a great white bites my camera. Of course the pre-dive needs to test both systems.

The disadvantage is the MOD with the blocked IP, but I never go deeper than 300 any more anyway.
