Anyone using this wing? Good, bad, indifferent?

WTX-D30 Single Cylinder Wing

Sometime ago I asked a question about inflator elbow sizes, as it seems there is a standard size, then there is the Aqualung mondo size. I'm wondering if these Apexs use the Aqualung elbow on the bladder - all I have is Aqualung inflators and I might as well stay standardized with myself for parts and such, everything else being equal.
 
The new Apeks (not Apex) appears to be a rebranded Oxycheq Mach V wing. In short, these wings are built like a tank with a very heavy inner bladder. The two biggest drawbacks are: 1) Because of the stiffness of the wing it is not very compact for travel. 2) Some people report that the wing is harder to vent than a typical wing, while others have no problem so YMMV. The OPV and elbow on the Oxycheq wings are standard sizes.

I also have an Apeks WTX wing which is the older wing Apeks sells. That wing does have a Sea Quest elbow of a larger size.
