so it's not really "mainstream" media. Just done by one of the posters until RSD gets off their a$$ and does an article about them (unbelieveable, they've reviewed rebreathers but not BP/wings). Until Halcyon et al start spending $$$ advertising there, unlikely we'll see a real "media" gear review.
That said, you have seen the light, my son.
I have a FredT AL for warm water and I love it, also have a Halcyon SS for cold, love that too.
As far as cost, when you add up the plate, the finishing, and the wing, a FredT is not THAT MUCH less than a Halcyon rig, at least as of six months ago.
