Fabio is correct. No matter how simple you make it, a rebreather is always going to require a bit more in terms of pre-dive checks and post dive time and maintenance than OC.
Recreational divers who show up a the boat, assemble their gear and kick back until the boat reaches the site, then jump in, get out, (repeat as needed) and then throw their gear in the bag and go knock back a cold one, and then repeat the process the next day are not going to work out all that well as rebreather divers.
As I noted in my prior post, it's not as odious and time consuming as some rebreather divers present it, but it is none the less more involved and more time consuming that prepping and tearing down OC gear.

Another difference between recreational and technical rebreather diving is what happens when something goes wrong. A technical rebreather course teaches you how to fix the problem and get back on the loop if possible, while the focus in a recreational course is to just bail out.
That's a much easier standard to meet as you're just recognizing when you need to bail and knowing how to make that happen. But it still requires a certain level of discipline to actually do it, rather than trying to deny the issue exists or trying to continue the dive with the issue - no matter how great the dive. Many recreational divers lack that level of discipline.
