Conshelf vs MR12/MR12II first stages
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2016 1:22 pm
I know there is a wealth of regulator knowledge on the VDH forum.
There are those that are Aqua Lung and/or Voit/Swimaster and/or Scubapro fans. I happen to have a fondness for all three for different reasons.
I am curious about opinions about the Conshelf vs the MR12 / MR12 II first Stages. Both balanced diaphram regulators. VDH has service kits for both.
I know Luis is a big fan of the Conshelf first stage. But, what about the MR12 first stage. One thing, I have seen what appears to be several first stages that are all referred to as MR 12 first stages. I am interested in the version that has a yoke that is part of the casting of the first stage. It's IP pressure is adjusted by a big allen wrench on top. It also has two lp ports off one side and a lp and hp ports on the other side. I believe an older version only has 2lp ports instead of three.
I am interested in pros and cons of each. Opinions?
