I dive a HP st. 130 with a H-valve...no problems on hose routing...??
Not so much a problem as a hassle. I don't see the need. And it is true, however, that a double manifold puts the 1st stages a good foot apart, which is pretty different from what an H valve does to it. *shrug*

If I'm doing a dive that has me concerned about safety enough that I feel I need a second 1st stage, I'd rather use full-blown doubles.
