In Reply to: Which Scubapro reg combo is better , Mk20/G250 or G500 ? posted by dawhale on January 10, 2001 at 04:54:08:
dawhale,I like the G250/Mark 20, I always felt that the 500's were made more from a marketing stand point, then an engineering one(Scubapro's answer to the Atomic regs.).
For a smaller light weight second stage, the Atomic B1-T2 would be my choice.
If you look at the engineering of the G250 and the T2 you would find that they are almost the same. This is not surprising since both were designed by the same guy's. One other note about Atomic; Atomic is the only Regulator manufacturer that I know that test the breathing resistance of each regulator they sell(at a depth of 150 ft. and reconds it).
If you look at price, the B1-T2 is about $50 more then the G250/Mark20.
The G250 and the T2 are two of the best Regulators on the market today. Either one would be a good choice.
Good Luck,
