Default System Differences

There appears to be two types of mist injection systems that are available on the market. The major difference between the two is the methos by which the flow of water is regulated. In one method, the flow is controlled by the size of the orifice and I'm assuming pump pressure, and the other method is less concerned with the nozzle and relies on a pressure regulator to control flow.

Since I've just started to investigate mist injection for my '98 6.5TD, I could very well have this all wrong so please correct any inaccuracies. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two systems?

One of the reasons that some of my diesel buddies thumb their noses at the idea of mist injection is their belief that the cooling affect of mist injection is only available at the top end of the boost range whereas this positive affect of their intercoolers is available to them across the entire boost range. Would anyone care to comment?

Thanks.
