Poseidon Xstream or Scubapro MK25/S600?

I'm going to buy a new reg.
What do you think is the best buy?
Xstream or MK25?
My first impressions go to the Xstream... But the MK25 is also a possible
choice...
What would you do?

I'd get both and return the one didn't work out, or keep it for a spare.

Poseidon uses non standard hoses.

The MK25 + S600 is a very very very nice regulator.

And the scubapro's have excellent hose routing because of the bottom
turret port.

Make sure the Poseidon (if that's the on you buy) is a new model with high
and low pressure ports on both sides of the first stage. I was told that
Poseidon designed it for the Euro tech market and they were surprised when
it didn't sell well in the US. They redesigned it with ports on both sides,
but they are pressuring distributors to sell the old stock before they ship
the new ones. This is second hand information, but I trust the source.

if you're in the US, Mk25/S600 is a great reg (I have one) and you can get
it serviced easily. You can still get parts even for the early Scubapros.
The Poseidons are a little more difficult if you're away from home, but not
so much so.
