Thanks everyone, though the Aqualung outlaw recommendation came a couple hours too late :) After agonizing long and hard I decided to go with the Cressi Patrol. It's almost as light as the Hybrid Pure (same weight as the Pure SLS)and a little heavier than the Covert. I really liked the Covert but was worried about not having a rigid back, the smaller integrated weight system, and one less dump valve. Did I mention how bad I am in letting air out (without filling the bladder with water)? In the end I figured I would use the BCD more for local dives than trips and price won out. I live short driving distance to all the Mexican Caribbean dive sites and Belize, and on my foreign trips I would only dive maybe one day out of a month long trip, so I decided to get a more full featured one. Worse comes to worse, I'm only out $220.
