I've been using a hand-me-down regulator in my kegerator for a while and it's time to replace it.

So I've narrowed my puchase down to these three regulators that others on the board have appeared to be pleased with.

No-brand "commercial" w/ adjustment handle for $41.75: http://www.beveragefactory.com/draf...mercial_double_gauge_beer_co2_regulator.shtml

Micromatic Premium for $55.05: http://www.beveragefactory.com/draf...premium_double_gauge_beer_co2_regulator.shtml

Keg cowboy commercial regulator $36: http://www.kegcowboy.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=230

Please vote on which you thinkis the best bang for the buck and elaborate on any good or bad experience with these three below.

Thanks!
 
I've got 3 of the Micromatic Premiums and love them (got them on sale over a year ago for $39 each).
 
Replacing it mostly because adjusting the pressure is a pain in the a$$. It's at least 30 years old and is currently stuck at 23 PSI.

That said, I'll find a use for it. When I get it un-stuck I'll drop it down to dispensing pressure and likely use it with a 5lb tank when hauling kegs around to parties or what have you.
 
I have that MM 642 on the way to the house, right now, but I won't be able to give you a review for a few weeks. I just thought it was real pretty and it matches all my secondary regulators, too ;) lol
