Great BC - I love mine.
I use 14lb of weight and find that 3lb in each of the back (fixed) pockets and 4lb in each of the front pockets gets me perfectly horizontal.
My wife has the Libra (effectively the same BC). She prefers 2lb in each of the fixed pockets.
Make sure you use the fixed weight pockets. It makes a big difference to your trim to get some weight higher up. It also helps make the center of weight closer to the center of buoyancy, helpful when you need to put in air, and gets you less face-down on the surface.
I tried putting more in the back but got a bit of roll instability when my BC was empty....
