Info on the new reg:

Inside view of the top of the SL3. Note the female threading.

Bottom view of the SL3. Same 1/8" adjustment as always. +/- markings are on the side.

Regulator comes off body and piston/spring come out the top. Bottom can be unscrewed.

Screw the velocity adjuster all the way in and remove the internal assembly.

Separate the two halves of the internal assembly. A black gasket and small white alignment piece will come out.

The SL3 regulator will allow you to shoot your tank down much lower than
ever before. It still self purges (awesome), and on the SLS the length has
been significantly reduced because the regulator screws directly onto the
body. No more FRM or ASA threading. This allows the regulator to sit up
closer to the body than ever before.
Maintenance is a breeze, just unscrew the regulator and the piston comes
right out. For the first time the regulator "seat" (what the piston uses for
sealing) is a user replaceable part. No more sending off your reg or buying a
whole new piston if it is somehow damaged. Replacement is as simple as
changing an o-ring!
I don't know if the regulator will be available seperately, but is is compatible
with current ASA threaded guns, as long as an adapter (seen below) is used.
Adapter for standard ASA threads can be seen in the top right of this photo:
