In my continued research for building my first kit, I've been looking at the Oceanic Excursion back inflate BC. But knowing I want a back-inflate, I could save a whole lot of money, and make travel easier with a BP/W with the standard harness. So what is the advantage of the BC? Is it simply a matter of comfort? Does that vertical stripe down the backplate get annoying? With a wetsuit or drysuit, does the narrow harness webbing rub and cut?
I don't think I'll ever dive caves, but I will want to do caverns, and some wreck penetration...not anything nuts. Mostly I'm looking at trim in the water considerations, but also travel weight, comfort and ease of use.
