I just got off the phone with Jeffery at DGX. I ordered the DR BP/W package for singles. I ordered the SS lite backplate, weight pockets comes with it. It comes with the Voyager wing, I put a request in to use the Hollis wing instead, their going to let me know, otherwise I told them the Voyger was fine
they said it will ship tomorrow and I'll have it Friday !
Even though I bought one tank yesturday, I ordered 2 new. Faber HP100 steel tanks, that come O2 clean he said. With Nitrox sticker and fis for $389 shipped each. I'll CL the tank I bought yesturday, so now I'll have matching tanks

I was going to go with 2 steel 80's , but he made a good point, the 80 actually ends heavier then the 100 towards the tank being empty near the end of the dive. The steel 100's actually are more buoyant at the end then a 80 buy more then a pound , interesting, see below

OMG, I been driving poor Emily crazy over at DGX, lol, she's been great
ok, I cancelled the HP100's tanks, and ordered 2 Luxfer Alum 80's with DIN/Yoke valves
I also switched the wing to their Travel Wing, which is 25lb lift
So, the final order was :

DGX custom single tank combo, which is Deluxe Harness with shoulder pads, SS Lite BP, 25lb Travel wing, 16lb ditch able pockets, Crotch strap, STA, which I can remove if I don't like it with the travel wing
that it, and I'm sticking to it this time, lol.
