Due to a healthy weight-loss of 20 lbs (still 26 before my target is reached), my Mares Dragon BCD is getting roomy. So I see it as a nice gift to my self to switch to a harness/wing setup.
Apeks WTX + weight pockets will be my choise for harness (Apeks is well represented in Sweden), but I don't care for their wings.
I dive single steel 10 litre/300 bar + 3 litre/232 bar pony. 7+5 mm Semidry.
Got my eyes on OMS single bladder 32 lbs wing (looks sturdy+ haves slots for cam bands), or the Dive Rite venture.

The Venture + WTX will work fine, but how is it with OMS 32#+WTX?

Have anybody out there tried the setup with OMS wing+ WTX?
Will the slots on the OMS line up with tha cam band on the WTX harness?
The c-c between the slots on the OMS is 210 mm (8"), What is the c-c meassure between the cam bands on the WTX harness?

A consern is the limited capacity of a 32# wing for cold water diving. Is the Venture a better choise for me?
Thanks all.
 
If you're diving single tank in cold water and exposure suit, the 30-lbs wing is enough. I have the older 30-lbs Venture wing and it works just fine with my Faber 120cuft high pressure steel tank. I also have the newer 45-lbs lift Venture wing that I tend to use if I go out with a newbie for just in case I have to float him or her AND me.
