Ok, I'm starting this tread up again because my ET arrived today.
I'm a bit p*ssed cos the BC actually comes a 44lb wing, even though the website said 24lb (also confirmed by the store when I rang). I'm not sure what to do now. From the advice I've been given on SB in this thread and from the store, 24lb should be all I need for single alu tank warm water dives and even for cooler water with 7mm wetsuit & steel tank (which I may do occasionally). My wife's also going to use it, who's a lot smaller than me. I rang the store and now they say it comes with the 44 wing as standard and you cant get one with a 24lb wing
As we're going to be travelling with it I'd like as small & light a possible. Is the 44lb wing physically much bigger & heavier than the 24lb (I'm assuming almost twice as big)? Is it going to be too big for our needs? Should I send this back and try to source one with a 24lb wing?
Cheers.
