There's a pretty clear theme developing here, and it seems to always happen like this:
1. Aspiring tech diver asks if he can use one wing/plate for singles/doubles. Totally rational question to what seems like an intuitive issue.
2. Tech divers respond, saying "No! At best it's inconvenient, at worst it's very dangerous."
3. Aspiring diver, trying to save money and think for themselves, questions why. That's totally fine.
4. Tech divers remain adamant. Don't do it.
5. If the aspiring diver doesn't listen, he gets his jack-of-all-wings. Six months later, aspiring diver has seen for himself that it's not a great solution and it makes the dives less fun (or less safe), and the wing goes up on WTS. Aspiring diver gets a dedicated singles wing and dedicated doubles wing.
6. Retail market thrives.
Gist: A substantial majority of divers with real tech experience all dismiss the notion of using one wing to rule them all. It's one of those things that is not entirely intuitive, so maybe everyone has see for themselves. But if you get a wing that's too big or too small for your tanks, or traps air, or flaps around or puts you in a weird position to swim, hover or ascend, you're not going to have fun, and you're going to get rid of it. A lot of people here probably went through the same process, wasted a bunch of money re-buying stuff, maybe had a close call, and are just trying to keep that from happening to others.
