Sea Tec wings are great for singles. I've used them in my last couple of single tank dives(instructing). Some of the cave guys in the area even use a Sea Tec wing as a redundant wing on their cave setups. seems like a lot of trouble to me, but they are diving wet and carry 2 masks also.
I'm not totally hip on all dir info, but doesn't it say something like don't rig your own stuff if you don't know what the heck you are doing. Aren't you supposed to pay those guys to put it together for you? (jk ha ha)
Cheers
