Buyer's remorse?

I'm just thinking whether I'll feel a smaller bladder ?

Its not like the bladder size bothers me.
I don't dive/swim fast - so theres no question of drag.
Who even dives so fast that they would feel bladder drag?

Single bladder comes in various sizes from ~10kg upward.
Only you can answer that question.
I can feel the difference myself but that is me.
You came here because you have doubt about the size of the bladder.

Do you like the way it fits? The size of the back plate? The harness? If so just change out the wing and sell your wing.

I have a spare aluminum backplate in Dubai, industry standard holes and stuff, if you need let me know.

yep
fits nice
need to fine tune the crotch strap but otherwise a comfy setup

I'm unsure how other branded wings would fit?

NO, only speaking from experience
Especially trying to dump the last bit of gas which is no where near the dump valve or the corrugated hose.

If you are saying that the Xdeep zen is too negative then just get the Xdeep aluminum plate. I also went from the Hydros to the Xdeep and I find the Xdeep much better than the Hydros. Or are you saying that the wing traps air for you?

Where do you normally dive? I'm thinking of getting an Zen, but the 41lb lift seem excessive since I usually dive warm water with just a rash guard.

Look into the Xdeep Ghost for warm water diving instead of the Zen
Nice and lightweight for travel
