I am 6', 225, and wearing a full 3mm wetsuit, dive a back plate/wing, and use about 8 lbs when diving in Mexico. I've also worked hard to shrink that number down as many of my first dives there were done in the 14-16 lbs range.
Honestly, the best suggestion I have would be to talk to the DM...
The quarries open up here in about a month, but water temperatures will still be colder than I prefer. Don't yet own a drysuit... so diving when the water is in the 40's/50's isn't a lot of fun.
Absolutely the best money you will spend on any piece of diving equipment. While I don't think I bit hard on the mouthpiece, after a long week of diving I would always feel like I was off-gassing through my teeth (i.e. they felt tired and wiggly). With the Seacure, I have none of that.

It is funny... how you get that feeling like you are cheating.
But we also just made plans to go diving in Roatan over Spring Break. We were going to have our son with us for his first ocean dives and thought that the accessibility of the diving there would make for a better experience. We...
We would give another positive recommendation for Vista del Mar. The rooms are clean, comfortable and have a great location. The boats can pick you up about a block from the hotel.
Two weeks ago (1/5) we books tickets from ORD>IAH>RTB on Continental for $630. By 1/11 the same flights had gone up to over $900.
Glad I decided not to wait.
