Make no mistake about it... I enjoy diving a BP and Wing and I own several of them. However, I see a lot of condescension towards a BC that is wholly unwarranted.
So Perrone, are you indicating that an Oceanic or Zeagle BC won't last a long, long time? As for getting vertical in the water... I can do that with ANY THING. Vertical, side ways, flat as a pancake. I control my trim and attitude, and I won't blame my BC Du Jour if somehow I fail.
While working for the College of Architecture at the UofF, I ran a small student machine, welding shop that was combined with a structures lab. When a student came in, I showed them how to use various pieces of equipment and then I merely listened. Usually, someone would force the tool and a non-harmonious sound would emanate from their general direction. About the time they started cussing out the machine they were using, I gently reminded them: "It's not the tool!"
So it is here. If your trim and buoyancy are off: a BP& wings will not cure your problem except as a placebo. IOW, expect the same results from whatever piece of equipment you use.
If your buddy skills are horrendous, expect the same results from whatever piece of equipment you use.
If you lack gas management skills, going to a BP & Wings will do little to augment them. Yes, you should expect the same results.
Don't substitute gear for skills or training. It doesn't make sense.
The most important factor for ANY piece of gear is that YOU are comfortable in it and that it fits well. Personally, I don't enjoy jacket style BCs: I am too fat to enjoy them. Back inflates suit me just fine and BP & Wings are fine as well.
