My gear is in good shape. BUT it's cumbersome and cluttered. That would be my only reason to switch. I want to simplify!
You do not have to have a hogarthian config to make it simple and non clutered. No need for switching to BP/W. There are some BCs that are simple and non clutered. If I was diving tropics all the time in a wet suit to recreational depth I would not use BP/W but get a simple backinflate instead.

Why do you say that? I love diving warm water with a lightweight bp/w - Ali plate and 23# wing. It's so easy and uncluttered. A couple of weight pockets on the cam straps, so no weight belt either. Having said that, some of those back-inflate simple jackets look pretty good, but a bpw will be even cheaper.
