I let a friend try my rig out last week. I set it up on her tank and she took one look at it, questioned it, and when I explained to her it was a complete non-issue, she said, "Okay, let's dive!" We did the dive, and guess what?!?! She didn't notice it....it is a non-issue.
Honestly, I'd never even really given a second thought about having the inflator hose directly in the center. I never thought to question it because I never had any issues with it, nor did any of the people I've read about or talked with.
The question is valid....but I think the whole thread has blown some stuff out of proportion. Tobin really thinks his stuff through....he's not the type to make a product that's identical to another one (he always improves on something, or just doesn't waste his time with copying something that doesn't need much/any improvement). His reasoning makes sense....I had never thought about it before.
