The JT-65D from IST is a complete Tec rig for twin tanks.

These regs delivered above-average breathing performance and a surprising amount of reserve capacity.
This reg is not designed for pushing any envelopes. But for recreational diving, it delivers perfectly respectable breathing performance, and it does so at a steal of a price.
The Brut is sold as an entry-level reg, and for the price it offers good performance.
This is a basic reg that delivers gas reliably. The stiff purge is annoying, and if you dive in a drysuit and carry an octo, the MC5 doesn’t offer enough LP ports.
