The concept of "the right tool for the job" meaning, backmount, side mount, and/or rebreather, and inclusive of multiple variations (different harnesses, wings, BPs, tank sizes, etc) is all well and and good for those who are diving reagularly and can afford it.
OTOH, the "right tool for the job" for people who dive less frequently and/or may be on a limited budget, may be one configuration...
And I imagine the strong feelings invoked in this thread come from what appears to be being suggested by the article/blog, that the second category mentioned above *should* be buying more kit. Although I fall into the first category above, I was rather puzzled by the thoughts expressed - I don't think the majority of divers NEED to be in that category.
