I have found that in order to get ALL the air out of my HUB, I have to get upright or heads down. I always figured this was dictated by physics and the locations of the vents, rather than my dive skills. To say the air can be released from any position is misleading.

The more accurate statement would be the air can be released without having to worry about positioning a hose to ensure the air vents. Air trim vents air directly from the left shoulder vent and right lower back vent rather than through a hose.

The main advantage of the airtrim is that you always know exactly where to reach to hit the deflate/inflate button (your left hip). A bit more fumbling might be required for an inflator hose or a manual dump pull.

Guess my input is way late, though, given the age of this thread.
