Swapped my old Kirby Morgan for a Ocean Reef Neptune after a bad dive last March

I used to swear by my old Kirby Morgan 37, had it for 8 years and thought nothing could beat it. But after a cold dive in Puget Sound where the regulator kept freezing up on me, I tried a buddy's Ocean Reef Neptune and was blown away by the air flow. Switched over that week and now I can do full 6 hour shifts without my jaw getting tired from pulling air. Has anyone else made the switch from a hardwired comms setup to a wireless one in colder water?

Dont know man, my old Kirby never let me down even in freezing conditions.

My 2018 Husqvarna died on me at 15 degrees last winter, so I'm sitting this one out. @ryan_nelson, I bet that old Kirby was built different than the newer models, but I've had nothing but trouble with cold starts on my end.
