That's silly. Get the equipment you want and then learn how to use it. I have over 400 dives on integrated weights and somebody else has lifted the gear about 6 times and then I was about to do it but they were helpful. In warmer water I just lift them to the next tank. In colder water, and with two bad shoulders, I just pop them out. Move the reg/bcd to the other tank and pop them back in.
