"You're right, you did point out about moving weight from the backplate to the weightbelt, but I stand by my assursion that with the ditchable weight, neutral BC, and a High Pressure tank, my rig weighs less on the surface (schleping to/from the water), and handles both the safty-stop, and BC failure cases.

Good point ! Also, "weighs less" translates to me as more streamline and efficient both in and out of water. You may also use less air kicking through the water. Good choice of setup.
