John, I wanted to try to add something constructive to this thread and help you get some hard info on the questions from your opening post.
I had no previous experience with BP/W, but did quite a bit of research and also spent time reading the existing threads on SB. This year I bought Eric Sedletzky's Freedom Plate directly from him. I am just a vacation diver with only 50+ dives, and have no affiliation with him.
Pre-sale he took the time to provide detailed answers to all my questions via SB msg. Quick ship & well packed. Post-sale he has continued to answer questions and make suggestions. Very easy guy to deal with anytime and quick to respond.
This month I have done 6 ocean dives with the Freedom Plate, along with an Oxycheq Mach V extreme wing and HOG harness bought via Scubatoys. I used both alum and steel 80s. Right away, I could see the potential with the BP/W set-up and understand why many here rave about this type of gear. I love the combination I ended up with after looking at many of the options in the market.
Hardcore tech divers who have held my plate have been impressed with the quality and simplicity of the design. I understand that Eric's Freedom Plate is now available through Scubatoys, so it's an easy purchase. I strongly recommend this option to anyone considering a BP/W, no matter what your experience level.
Good luck with your decision.
