The advantages of a BP&W far out weigh the disadvantages......The only disadvantages are...drop/pinch/puncture of the wing if you are careless and having to stand up on a rocking boat to properly tighten the crotch strap.
Then what you do is buy one of the new HOG wings from me that have a ten year warranty against pinch flats. Also I often will do the final adjustment on the crotch strap once I'm in and under water. Much easier to do when you're neutral and horizontal.
And if you're careless you can just as easily put a hole in a poodle jacket. Which in all likelihood will be harder to fix.
