Hi Rodge,

A new Meg with the most common options runs to about $8500- $9000.

I ordered mine at the end of June and received it the first week of September so it was about 10-11 weeks.

I can't really comment on the OTS CL's being a good or bad thing as I only know OTS but as with anything I think it's a case of getting used to a different setup, just like a new pair of shoes don't feel comfortable until you've worn them a while.

On the Meg I haven't found them to be a problem, if anything as a newbie I find a slight comfort of seeing them contract/expand as you breathe so you can see when you're running Min Loop Vol.

Hope that helps a bit,

Neil

Chaps,

Theres a lot of info on the site, so my standard reply is ALWAYS to look at past discussions... in this case, you may find this thread useful.

Your best bet is to call. Steve or Leon will always help you.

ISC is very poor with emails, but is fantastic with phone calls, so instead of ranting on a forum give them a call, and please before you go on about customer service, most CCR companies except for Inspiration ( PRISM, MEG, and Kiss) are so small that the owners are still answering the phones themselves, sitting in front of a computer responding to emails is just not productive. Welcome to the Dark side

Yeah, if you call Leon he will be happy to answer all your questions. I bought a meg recently and this is what it cost:
1 Meg complete 7500.00

1 ADV 350.00

1 MGB 75.00

shipping 150.00

ISO valve 45.00

HUD 220.00

O ring kit 35.00

Breathing hose set 36.00

2 ATMK 220.00

Total $8,463.00

Took about 14 weeks for delivery but I wanted the Shearwater and was waiting for them to get the problems worked out. That didn't happen so I had to get the APECS 2 and will have to wait for the APECS 3 next year.

WOW... 10 to 11 weeks. I ordered my Prism back in April, thinking that I'd have it sometime this year. Hoping for Aug... Well that came and went... At that time I was told maybe Jan - Feb. of 06.
