+1 for the weight harness. Its a lot easier to adjust trim.
Using the smallest possible wing makes trim easier as the air bubble moves around more in a bigger wing. Keeping the lead off your rig allows you to use a smaller (30lb in this case) wing for cold water dives. The same rig can then also be used for travel to warm water destinations. Its not that a 40lbs wing is bad, but as you get larger then you starting thinking about a small travel wing, then a big wide one for doubles and before long your pocketbook is empty or your wife see the credit card statements....
