I recently purchased the Cressi Start Pro package which came with Cressi AC2 regs, Octopus and SPG. I'm an occasional diver at once a month here in Florida and didn't want to invest in the high end gear though I wanted something that would be reliable and durable. Cressi's start pro ended up being perfect for me. Though it doesn't have all the bells and whistles I knew that it would serve me well with the type of diving I do.
I would recommend this package to the beginner or occasional recreational diver.
