I would have to agree here, the jets wouldn't be as heavy, nor as cumbersome. I personally found a hugh difference when I ditched the ankle weights. They are not required, in fact I think they are more of a hazard that anything. if the snap breaks and you lose 2.5 lbs, that can be important weight required for asscent and deco. I plan my dives so that at my 20 ft stop, I am completely neutral with no air in my suit or bc, which you should be, to lose an ankle weight here could be tragic. To fix you trim, shift your tanks. Sheding weight off your belt by using a v weight makes a big difference as well.
