It keeps the BP/W from riding high with a single piece hogarthian harness and provides attachment points for gear (rear D ring) and DPVs (front D ring).
For those curious…
Haven’t had my gear (didn’t move with it) so I asked someone to pack it for me and they didn’t notice it was missing. Not sure where it went but I probably put it on one of my other plates.
Makeshift one made from three loops of paracord and a cloth belt. Does the trick!
I made it to Maui with all my gear… except a crotch strap. Anyone have a shop that sells a crotch strap for a BP/W setup? Or has one I could rent/borrow for the weekend? Mahalo!
High springs has a large concentration of really high level instructors. I’d hit up Cave Country Dive Shop or Extreme Exposure to get specific recommendations, or shoot me a PM.
The BX2 is perfect for what you need. I've absolutely abused it as a recreational dive light and it still works just as well as when I got it. I've been using it as a backup and it works perfectly. I have an Edge that I use for a similar purpose, and the BX2 is better in almost every way: better...
I'm a strong believer that minimalist is the way to go. Extra D rings, pockets on the BC, etc. don't make very much sense to me. A single piece of webbing has a lot less failure points than something with buckles.
I would look outside of these packages. There are plenty of used options that...

Looking to buy used Dive Rite first and second stages. Would like some older ones (RG3100s) but XTs are cool too. Message me with details if you have any!
Is there a reason you are diving with both bladders hooked up to inflation? It seems that locating a bladder that is auto-inflating would be especially difficult, if not potentially dangerous.
I would just dive a steel plate. If you're only diving aluminum 80s I prefer something that will still be slightly negative with an empty bladder and tank. It should also be a balanced rig, at least I would guess you could swim up 6 lb of weight. As someone said above, a plate is a plate, and a...
