Well, you won't go wrong with the Mach V and if you need to patch a pin hole, I doubt you will be sending it back.

If you dive the typical single cylinder BC vs any wing, you will notice less drag in the water --- due to less drag from the wing and less drag because of improved trim.
Let me make this easy for you.
Anyone diving a single wing that just does mostly a vertical dive and travels little distance will not see a great deal of savings due to low drag.
The example I gave for taking a wing 2000' plus into a cave was obviously using doubles. It is so obvious to me that I forget that I have to explain simple things like this to divers with little experience.

This thread is like watching your wife fight with your mother ... while the nosy neighbor is egging them on.
Good grief ... I own both of your wings, and like them both. For that matter, I like both of you guys as people ... just to talk to in e-mails and phone conversations. But I sure don't like to see either of you engaging in this sort of conversation.
C'mon ... neither one of you is gonna sell an extra wing this way ... give your friends and customers a break and find something more pleasant to talk about ...

I got my DSS Torus 26 this summer and have dove in warm water with no exposure protection (Provo, T&C) and up here in the cold water (quarry) with a 7 mil and loved it both times. With no suit on I barely ever touched the inflator and both times enjoyed the perfect trim and loved how easy it is to forget your are wearing any rig at all. In water water and no suit I needed two XS-Scuba weight pouches (one on each band) with a couple of pounds of weight in each for ballast.
Here is a picture showing the perfect trim I had...
And here is an official endorsement from our very own Moonie...

Stephen,
Moonie has one of the cleanest backside I have ever seen on any gnome. Have you seen some of the women that had a tongue on it?
