The Mach 5 is the newer of the 2 wings. I have a signature series wing only because the Mach 5 wasn't out when I bought my wing. The signature wing is a close out, so you can save some money, or you can get the Mach 5 which is the current model. If it were up to me today, I'd definetly go with the Mach 5 wing.

Price not being a consideration I would say Mach V. The Mach V is state of the art and very streamlined. Biggest advantage I realized from the MV over my 30# Oxy Razor (which is the same shape as the standard Sig) was the ease with which the bubble could be moved. Buoyancy control is very precise.
In the winter, I prefer the Mach V.
In the summer however I prefer my Razor.

Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport".
Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage.
Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure
