IMHO i would use the apeks, solid, the spare parts are cheap and the service is very easy and can done by your self ( with little understanding of reg technic).
The poseidon regs and their spare parts are very expensive. When you have free flow at a poseidon reg you donīt need a scooter. The outcome of the gas flow is so strong that your tanks are empty in few minutes. The apeks have the same performance as the poseidons, but due to technical reasons such a free flow as at the poseidon regs is impossible. For me this can be a security detail.
The mares have a good WOB too, but get any parts is not easy. And they use many spare parts in thier regs, like the MR22 or so.
Good luck with your search and enjoy the deep dive.
Post a report here, please.
