This very well may be the most thank yous I've ever seen in a post.
There are a couple of things people always point out as benefits to a BP&W that are not necessarily unique or exclusive to BP's:
That and the absolute rock solid feeling of my tank never moving (I hated how much it moved around no matter how much I tightened up my jacket BCD) are two advantages that bp/w systems have over rear-inflate BCDs.
This is easily solved by adding or purchasing a BC with a second cam band, I did this to a Balance and most if not all of the Zeagle BC's have 2.
The second is: "The BC riding up" which is easily solved by adding a crotch strap just like you would do so on a BP. I'll agree that a lot of BC's don't have attachment points to hang a crotch strap, but it can be done. I added one to my Ranger for $10!
BP&W are great and have many unique advantages, but those two are not IMO.
