I had the same experience as Scubakims as a newly certified diver on the bp/wings. To me it is much, much more comfy and easy to dive.
For any who want to try bp/wings or don't have local shops, or even those who do...
Extreme-Exposure will sell you a rig and you can use it for 30 days and return it if not to your liking, no questions. Actually, most all their gear has this deal. I looked at it as paying 30$ shipping to try it out.

First dive was to get it setup, second dive, well I forgot it was even there, this is how equipment should be.
