I am looking for a 12 liter 232 bar bottle and I found this one:

What do you all think about it?
I can not see the weight and whether it would be appropriate with Nitrox. Who knows?
I like the double tap, because it's mandatory in Germany, where I will probabaly will go for a dive trip.
I did my Padi Open water and Advanced open water and I'm hooked to scuba diving now. Me and my daughter want to join a scuba diving club, so we can train regularly with other people, with the goal of going to have advanced diving experiences.
To make this possible we want to buy our own scuba gear. I made a selection of possible regulators I could buy at a local dive shop. Eventually we want to go deep (-40 meter) and were we will be training it'll be cold (water temperature of 10 celsius, maybe a bit lower). We are not planning to do ice diving.
Here is a selection of regulators within our budget, with an overview of the specs:
Mares Dual 15X 1st and 2nd stage: balanced membrane, 429 Euro.
Seac IT300: balanced mambrane, venturi switch, 419 Euro.
Oceanic Alpha 10: overbalanced 1st stage, venturi switch, balanced 2nd stage, 449 Euro.
Seac IT500 Automatenset: overbalanced 1st stage, venturi switch, balanced 2nd stage, adjustable breathing resistance, 519 Euro.
On paper the Seac IT500 is the best, but would this be the best value? The Oceanic Alpha 10 seems to hit the spot concerning investment and value, but is it a good regulator?
What would be the best option?
