Before you ditch steel back plate, try a back plate pad. That may solve your back problem and it's a lot cheaper. Dive Rite XT Backplate PadThats what my Tec Instructor said.....he recommended trying a soft plate but I wanted see if anyone else had made the switch and if it helped....I really hate to give up on the steel plate after 10 plus years of using it but maybe no other choice...
