Unlike the older Meikon housings, it also comes with a vacuum valve port, although the actual vacuum system is a separate accessory.

Question about this: I understand how a vacuum system works, but is it really necessary? I occasionally maintained the O-ring on my Meikon but didn’t really put that much effort in, and I never had a problem.

I actually never had a flood in several Canon point-n-shoot acrylic housings, but the replacement cost of the cameras wasn't a big deal either.

Once you have a vacuum system, you'll never want to dive without it.  It's saved me at least once.   Just the peace of mind it gives you is worth the $200 I spent on it.
