We chose the Automation Direct one because it has an integrated gauge. In the beginning of the season, you could not get the white gauge from AndyMark, so we went looking somewhere else. Now that gauge is in stock. Also, it seems the gauge needle breaks for some reason in the white or norgen gauge, we've had several problems with the gauges not the regulator. So, like about 1/2 the people on this thread is seemed to us it was a legal device, didn't even think twice about it, we printed the spec sheet and have it in the same book as the robot bag and tag form ready to show the inspectors. That was why we went looking at something else.
