Of course I can't speak for anyone else, but if you want my personal opinion, look at my signature. I know plenty of divers who switched from jacket-style to Back plate and wing (similar to back inflate) and loved it, but never the other way around. IMHO, it is more likely to replace a jacket-style after some diving than replacing a back-inflate with a jacket-style. I don't agree with your LDS in that you will hate the back inflate the first couple of dives. When I switched, I loved my back-inflate and hated my jacket the minute I was underwater.
