    lightweight jacket BC

    I was doing some research and though I could try to get opinions from some of you that might have used these BC's.

    I am looking for a jacket style BC for the Mrs. mainly used for travel to the caribbean, and some occasional NC quarry and coastal diving.
    I would like a BC >$250 as it will not be heavily used, only when I drag her with me!!!! So it does not have to stand up to constant use and abuse, but should be reliable. Weight integrated would be a plus but not an absolute necessity.

    What are you opinions?
    Option #1 non-weight integrated. If the only difference between this and the other cressi is weights, is it work an extra $?60
