Xdeep stealth 2.0 vs. Razor 2

Andy that looks great! Pretty much exactly what I had in mind. Interesting how you have the trim pillow rigged, it hadn't occured to me to set it up that way. I have it flipped the other way with a crotch strap and two sternum straps made of bungees and snaps (literally identical to the Stealth wing). Thanks for the pic!

If somebody is wondering what to choose, may ask Steve Martin, a sidemount instructor, who has been promoting Razor for a long time but recently can be usually seen in Stealth 2.0:

Steve knows both systems very well and is also known for his impartiality.

After seeing some of Steve's most recent YouTube videos I am so glad I went with the xDeep Stealth 2.0, they have been diving steels and the Razor wing looks terribly unstreamlined. The Stealth always looks slick.

Thanks everyone for your input, I'm afraid I would have made an $800 mistake without it!

It does make use of sternum straps (like the Stealth), that helps keep the top corners flush around the torso.

I did notice that. Before I bought the Stealth 2.0 I would have liked the idea of having a rigid connection along the waist belt but since I've been diving it I've kind of grown fond of having the option to adjust the placement of the wing on-the-fly. The mounting system really does work well, better than I had imagined, so whatever doubts I had about the securedness of bungee only attachments are now gone.
