Smile Which BOV (OC/CC DSV)...

Looking at getting an OC/CC DSV for my YBOD

The options I see available are:

  • KISS
  • NemoTech (Filip Krolak's)
  • Bob Howell
  • Divematics
Have seen and played with a KISS one - which I liked the action of (in shallow water anyway) but I think a front facing lever might be more 3rd party friendly. Also saw a thread on here about someone swapping out the flapper valves to Inspo ones for an improved WOB, so is WOB an issue with the KISS one?
Have also seen a Bob Howell one - which I felt was a tad bulky, but otherwise seems OK.
Not seen either of the others in the flesh, so have no idea what they're like, only what I've seen in pictures. If there are some other obscure models I've not mentioned any suggestions are appreciated.

So what's the concensus on the best one to get, taking into consideration price, action, WOB, availability, servicibility, robustness, spares, ease of fitting to the YBOD, 2nd stage choise etc.

If someone has one that they might be prepared to part with, perhaps we could come to a deal....
