I have a Halcyon SS Backplate, Cinch harness, and Eclipse wing. The threaded insert where the elbow screws on broke out of the wing, so I need a new wing. My question is should I go with a new Halcyon wing or is there any reason not to go with a Dive Rite or any much cheaper wing??? I have a single tank adapter, so the tank straps are no problem. Thanks in advance for your advice

Yes, under $15 for all the parts and tool to fix it yourself, or you can take it into shop.
Here are the parts you need.
1. Flange assembly: DGX Bladder Flange Assembly | Dive Gear Express®
2. Flange Too: Bladder Flange Tool | Dive Gear Express®

If you decided to switch brand, I am inline for buying your ruin wing
Joke aside, it sounds very fixable. If you call Halycon, they may even fix it for free. So no reason to change if I were you.

You people... I needed a new (smaller) wing damn it. Do you think he should trust his life to $15 worth of parts he bought on the interweb?

Post in the Halcyon manufacturer forum up above this.
A very good suggestion! We talk about the 'blue tax' and such, but Halcyon does sell good gear - rugged, reliable, etc - and they do treat customers / owners fairly, at least in my experience. It would not hurt to contact them - email or phone - about having it repaired. I recently sent a trim weight pocket back for a small repair (damage from user error), they sent me a new one in exchange, no charge. Go to the Halcyon website (Home - Halcyon Dive Systems), and follow the 'Contact' directions: Contact - Halcyon Dive Systems

what they said, just call Extreme Exposure or Halcyon, the wing is anything but permanently damaged. Worst case you just have to replace the inner bladder
