Does anybody out there have any experence with this harness? I looked at it in person at a local dive shop and it looks like everything im looking for. I like the flexability of single tank straps, with the ability to add a back plate and upgrade to duals.
 
I looked at the WTX really hard for a while before coming to the conclusion that I would get the same, if not more flexibility at a lower cost by just going with a plate and wing. Ended up getting the Apex plate and their 32 lb wing, have only 6 dives on it so far, but have been happy with it to this point.

I have the WTX-3 wing (the single tank one), and I have to admit I was a bit disappointed with the build quality. It doesn't have an inner bladder, which probably makes less durable than others. Now, for recreational diving, it should be more than enough, I've put a few dives on it and it's very nice and stable.
All I'm saying is that it's a good enough wing, but for the price, I think I should have gotten an Oxycheq Signature in retrospect.
 
I'll second your observations. I got a good deal from my LDS on the plate and wing (WTX-3). The lack of an outer cover for the wing was a minor disapointment, but for any diving that's not overly abrasive on your wing, it should be fine (my relatively uninformed opinion).
