    Well, I'm trying to get away from output creep/drops by buying a $350+ tank, so if Dynas do it worse than Flatlines, that knocks them off my list right away.

      Dyna's are suggested to be run around 600 output, any other pressure and you may get creep. I think it even states in the manual that you should set the tank to 600 after a full fill. I've also heard this from a centerflag tech numerous times.
      So it really depends on what type of gun you'll be putting it on. If you got an inline reg, go with the dyna, if not get the flatline.

        600 is below what I want to run, so I guess that has answered my question.

        Thanks all!

          straight from the manual
          Problem: output pressure climbs as tank pressure goes down
          Solution: This is normal operation for HyperFlow/DynaFlow Design. This is why we recommend setting your output pressure to 600 PSI with a full fill.

            Ick. 600psi + retro valve = no good. That's some lame 'normal operation'...

                The nature of the Dynaflow is to creep when it get below about 1200psi tank pressure. Thats what makes it argueably, the highest flowing regulator for paintball. For people that set their input pressure around 800-1000, they really wont notice a big difference. By the time you have shot the bottle down to around 1200 psi, you are moments away from shooting it down to 900ish.(the reg can't creep more than whats in your bottle)
                I own 5 Centerflag regulators. I switched to a Flatline back in May, and have since switched back.

                  So you can guarantee if I run my tank at 950psi and never let it go below 1200psi, it won't creep?

                    i was talking about the max-flow reg only. Basically a max-flow would be ttriple regging a your gun and the other two would just be double regging it.

                      PROBABLY, yes, that is the truth. i let mine get down to 800 or so and then refill, but i dont experience any creeping anyways.

                      i cant garnatee anything, but i would bet quite a lot on this...
