Everything about the MK21/S560’s performance would lead you to expect bigger numbers after the dollar sign. Test divers liked its smooth, almost-effortless performance. The light-weight second stage is easy on the mouth, and the purge is smooth and sure. For delivering unmatched performance at a midrange price, the MK21/S560 is our Best Buy.

We liked a lot about the solid VR200 Soft Touch, including that it was easy-breathing, dry, comfortable and lightweight. In fact, it made every test diver’s top-three favorites list — the only reg we tested to do so. Because of this, the VR200 Soft Touch is our Testers’ Choice in this category.

In real-world ergo tests, divers gave the Zeniths the highest overall scores of any reg we tested — not because they excelled in any one category, but because they did well across the board in all categories. The Zenith was our Testers’ Choice in the sub-$500 category.
