Opinion: Taprite versus Cornelius Regs

[Fritztheelephant]

I was lucky to score a couple regulator set-ups for my kegorator project and was wondering if there are major quality differences between Taprite and Cornelllius? The Taprite set-up is four primary regs with some cheap gauges. The Cornellius is three primaries and seems to have higher quality gauges. My kegorator will hold three cornies and I would like to have an additional tap for sanitizing, so the four pack Taprite would be ideal. Let me know your opinions. I will probably eventually sell the extra set to fund other parts of the build. Thanks.

Fortunately guages dont make a regulator. Since we dont need highly accurate guages, I wouldnt let that be a deciding factor. What I would do though if the Cornellius are nicer is just take 1 tap right off the 4 way setup and add it to the 3 way setup. Its not much work and is easy to do.

Guages are cheap and easily replaced.

And regs don't change much on the insides. If anything I'd say rebuild kits would be the deciding factor. that said, I tend to go with TapRite because the kits seem to be more readily availble. Not that they need to be rebuilt very often but, still.
