I bought a seaquest black diamond, used it twice, then got introduced to the transpac with a rec wing by dive rite. Sold the black diamond.
Transpac is softer than a traditional back plate but has all the freedom, floatation, buoyancy characteristics as a harness. I dove for a week in the keys this summer with no exposure suit, no skins, nothing but me underneath (and some board shorts). No abrastion, no rash, nothing.
The transpac is very customizable and gives stellar feedom of movement. Also, there is a huge variety of wings, sizes, and accesories. They are also very compact which is important to me as I like to travel. The weight system can be moved about and you can purchase trim weights to maximize trim (which I think is often overlooked). There is no arbatration as to where the weight pockets are placed. My 10 year old daughter just got one because I can not imagine diving any thing other than some for of BP/W. (I am a recreational diver, no tech training or dives, just want comfort when diving)
Check out the dive rite site.
