AquaLungs NEW? equipt isn't NEW

[MAXFACTOR]

As you may know I dive Aqua Lung products which I believe are among the best,   but.... I don't know how they can say this is the first.  Because my old metal DECOR REG's..  which are still fully serviced and uptodate with inspections have always had the Lateral Deflector.  In fact,  my only beef with the cold water regs.   that I have from Aqua Lung, is  they are  LOUD... 

WITH MY OLD DECOR, I NEVER HEARD THE BUBBLES AS THEY SLIPPED PAST THE OUTER AREA OF THE EAR. 

ALSO... isn't it funny that I remember reading some of the original nomenclature about streamlining the mouth piece so it wasn't so bulky, yet this is exactly what they went back to.  I guess my old DECOR REG.s were right on in the first place. 

Ok,  well I tried to paste the picture but I couldn't...  maybe one of the Admin's can.
