With my personal set of BMCL's I can fully inflate my wing (its a diverite recwing) on the surface and still breathe almost without feeling any resistance.

Im using same wing too

Maybe I have bigger tidal vol

judging from the above, Id say you certainly are showing off a bigger pie hole and lots more gas volume between the auditory input devices

but Im just voicing what the rest of us are only thinking!

Personally, I think mike probably hit the nail on the head....

But my original post wasn't intended as antagonistic. I know Louis and I'm genuinely curious.

I have owned, dived and like both of the CK and Meg.

And I am not sure emperically I agree that the WOB on the Meg is worse than the CK (independent of the tests done by Kevin Gurr).

Scrubber life wise, there is the radial scrubber option on the Meg which isn't on a lot of other units. And having owned the Golem radial scrubber, it is a really nice piece of kit. I wish Jakub would make one for the Vision...

However, I agree that I don't like the way the sensors are placed but not a big deal if the pre-dive tests are done to check. Plus, my mod to eliminate that issue should be done soon. Right Brent ?

However, both equally suck relatively when it comes to travel (i.e. Meg = heavy, CK = CL case is bulky)...

Leon had that composite scrubber at the Dive 2007, looks pretty good and oughta solve the weight issue.
No info on production, though.

It is probably next in line after APECS-3...

We have a word for that around this neighborhood... "Inshallah!"

Mike,

It's nice to see your love for the Meg is still alive and strong

You forgot to mention the Meg electronics that keep a very stable set point

I agree with Phi the WOB is a hell of a lot better on the Meg than the Kiss to answer Rich's question I bought the Meg because it is very customisable i.e. different scrubbers available, you can plumb in off board gas without having to make any mods. The ability to recover from a flood, the build quality is second to none. I bought the Copis Meg but I have also bought the new Shearwater Pursuit controller and Hud from Bruce which is being fitted at the moment. I had to buy another battery box and solenoid but I am also keeping the Copis handset. But I hate the OTS counter lungs but that was a compromise I was prepared to make but hopefully someone will make some back mounted lungs for it soon.
