My wife has dove some form of Magnum since the mid 1980's (up till last month). A real workhorse.
Of course, now that she's been using her new reg, I probably couldn't pay her to go back, but I think that's mostly because the new reg is pretty much neutrally bouyant, while her old Magnum was a touch negative.
One annoying thing (to me anyway) is the stinking "environmental" gadget that bleeds small bubbles. Somehow Sherwood marketdrones got it into their mind that the first stage should have a constant stream of tiny bubbles, and that this is a "good thing." Not that it wastes air, but it makes a bubble check an annoying process.
Just some random rantings.
