If your looking for the advantage of an all metal second stage but smaller than the Abyss, the Proton 42 Metal is in the top end of performance. The balanced 1st stage features Mares patented DFC design for optimum breathing performance and SCS valve seating for longer wear.

Pros:
Comfortable, Metal Second Stage, Nitrox Compatible
Cons:
No swivel joint on hose
Best Uses:
Cold Water, Extreme Depths, Professional, Recreation, Warm Water
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Owned this reg. for about a year. Not one problem so far. Metal second stage prevents dry mouth better than plastic regs.
Great breather down to 140 fsw so far.
I wish it had a swivel mount at the second stage like some Atomic regs do, but this can be done with a third party accessory.
