This reg breathes like a champ. The swivel ball on the hose is also a nice add on, as you can rotate your reg in any direction and it still breathes well. Works great for peering under ledges and such. Handles cooler temperatures well, I've taken it to 40s and it still works great.
On the flipside, the swivel makes it a touch more difficult to service, at least if you do it yourself. If you take it to a servicer, keep in mind that not all places service Atomic regs, you may have to travel a bit. Overall a bit pricey.
I'd rate it 10/10. It's a lot of money, but it's worth the buy.
