Exact same setup I chose as my first BP/W-style BC, probably because you told Tobin something about your anticipated diving that was pretty similar to what I told him about mine. It couldn't be simpler. I can't see ever going back to a jacket-style BC--just too much unnecessary stuff.
If you are very narrow across the shoulders, the harness may dig into your upper arms. I solved that by crossing my straps behind my neck when I wove the harness; it also keeps the straps from falling off your shoulders.
Nice, I just saw this and was going to say "listen to Tobin". ..
We have a very similar setup and I am sure you will love it!
