Okay, here’s the scoop. The issue of the mag I was looking for is apparently the one i took to work to read at lunch, and left it there. However, I did find another mag that rated the Aqua Lung Titan LX as the editor’s pick out of the 6 regs which they rated. But I don’t know how it would compare the the other aqua lung model as that one wasn’t in this mag.
Do both models have the ACD device? That’s a nice option in a first stage. Another thing you might want to consider is how many LP and HP ports does it have? I like having 2 HP ports as I have a dive computer that remotely tells me how much gas I have, but I also like to have a back-up spg. You can’t do that with only 1 hp port. But that’s just something for consideration. You don’t have to have 2 hp ports, and if neither of your choices has 2 hp ports, then it’s a non-issue anyway.
Good luck
