I would not bother with an alternate inflation device. They are not all that easy to use. For the most part, they work best on a BC that has a pull dump on the right side, like Scubapro. That said, most people think that the Scubapro Air2 is the best alternate inflator/air source around.

The industry is moving away from those things anyway. Notice the new jacket BC's where the inflator is mounted directly to the BC?
