It's easier to haul the rig into my boat when it's
not weight-integrated. Also less trouble to set
up -- no loading weights all the time. I've got no
problem with a wieght belt.

Yes it LOOKS uncomfortable, but it's by far the most
comfortable BC I've worn in 16 years of diving
(1300+ dives).

It's no different setting up neutral buoyance
with integraged weight than with a weight belt.
You just adjust it until it's right.
