Looking at a Milwaukee Co2 Regulator, anyone use them?

I was just wondering if anyone has these on their calcium reactors, or has had them, and if the experience was good or bad before I decide to purchase.

My first one had a bad gauge and I found out I was putting 40# of pressure into the Calcium Reactor causing it to leak. No problems with the replacement. I just wish they would use a gauge with a smaller range. My output range is 0 to 140 psi and I'm trying to set it at 10.

I use one and never had a problem with it.

I had to replace a solenoid on one (heh! $50 retail...) and although it has been good up until recently, I find them to be good regulators. Mine has 2 dials and an easy-to-use bubble counter, but it is getting old, and I cannot dial in a reliable fixed bubble count. Even wide open, I am getting around 120 bpm and the solenoid and pH controller are doing the titration. I must admit I have never used another brand, so I cannot give you a good comparison, might try one of the reef fanatics or similar upgrade this time.
