What @crofrog said. Wing size doesn't affect your weighting. 2" crotch strap for the win.
Also:
For a crotch strap, I have been using the Dive Rite 2" with sewn-in scooter ring for years. It is my go-to. It comes with a nice neoprene sleeve that gives you a place to tuck the tail of the webbing into, and it protects the sensitive bits and exposure protection from being rubbed by the edge of the 2" webbing.
But, more recently, I have been changing all my crotch straps over to the Y strap from Cave Adventurers.
I don't really see any downside to this one other than it's just a little more expensive. It is a kinder, gentler crotch strap...
Last:
On my single tank BP/W, I got a skinny, nylon webbing strap with a buckle. I run it through the top cam band slot and up. I use it as a rig "hanger" to hang my rig on a tank when I'm assembling my rig. I use the buckle on it to set the overall length so that it holds my back plate at the correct height for me while I'm doing up the tank straps.
It really makes changing over to a new tank easier. Especially if you also use ScubaPro-style QR tank straps, instead of standard cam bands.
The strap was less than 4 bucks from McMaster-Carr, I think. I posted details about it here:

Dive Rite Crotch Straps
Used for fastening a harness and backplate securely to a diver's body, the crotch strap keeps the harness in place.

The new Freedom Contour - The Rolex of backplates.
I know they are a little different and you may have already said, but do the camband slots line up on the older model FP contour and the VDH wing? Lisa, I just looked at the original pattern of the small plate you have and there is plenty of slot length up and down to accomodate a VDH wing.
