I'm also looking at this BCD. I have used another model of theirs for the entire time I've been diving and its still in excellent condition, but I' thinking of upgrading.
I am curious as well. I had a chance to look the parts over and it looks like a solid rig but that wing is pretty big and has way too much lift for my kind of diving.
Great deal on SEA ELITE EBS COMPLETE SYSTEM from Divers-Supply.com

I the complete system last summer when I started diving. By the end of Fall I had replaced the wing with a smaller 30.
I found the shoulder supports to be somewhat uncomfortable, even in a 2 piece 7mm so I stripped those and most all of the other supports (including the backplate padding) off it. I also got rid of the integrated weights and went to a DUI weight harness.
All in all, it worked. For the price I got on it at the time it was a good deal (to me). Unfortunately I sort of "outgrew" it, and ended up wanting something simpler, with less "padding".

Thanks for ther input.. Do you find it more comfortable in a stripped down form? Would you recommend just using webbing for a custom harness instead?

It was a lot more comfortable stripped down. The main problem was the shoulder pads had really hard/sharpish edges.
I haven't used anything else so far, but I probably am going to replace the harness in the near future. So the only "stock" piece I'm still using is really just the backplate. :|
I think you can use that wing with doubles, but I haven't tried it.

So rather than go through all this just to end up with a BP/W, why not just start there and save all the trouble? Especially, since the wing isn't even a modern design (donut).
