SCUBAPRO MK17 EVO 2 vs MK25 EVO — which would you choose?
Hello! Would appreciate some thoughts from people who have experience with either of these regulators.
I’m looking at buying a regulator set and have narrowed it down to:
MK17 EVO 2 + S600
MK25 EVO + S600
Both sets would also come with an octopus and SPG.
I’m looking for something I can keep for a long time rather than buying something cheaper now and upgrading again later. Most of my diving will probably be recreational tropical diving around SEA, including saltwater, and portability for travelling is also something I care about.
For people who have used either/both:
Which would you choose for this use case?
Is there any meaningful advantage to the MK17 EVO for tropical/saltwater diving?
How have they been in terms of reliability and servicing?
Is there anything else I should consider between the two?
The price difference between the sets isn’t huge enough to be the deciding factor for me. I’m mainly interested in which one makes more sense as a long-term regulator for my use.
Thanks!
