Pete,
Thanks for the information. I have almost totally changed my equipment list since my first post. This was based on a long phone conversation with Keith in Texas and reading lots of posts on SB. Last but not least Tobin gave me some great information about the DSS BP/W. Long story short, it appears my choices are as follows:
DSS Large SS Plate, Torus 17 Wing, Hogarthian Harness
Hollis DC2/212 regs. Better or equal to the tests on regs costing $300 to $400 more.
Zoop Computer wrist mount with a separate SPG.
I will be diving mostly warm water with my 3mm wetsuit or a 3mm shorty.
Does this seem reasonable for a good set up?
