So.... good, I need honest critique to test my reasoning and ensure I'm getting what I want/need... but your 3 reasons are weak.... have any more?
I'm not insulted by your post. You can get whatever you want and I would hope that you're happy with it, even if it's a totally different set up than I personally would be happy with. My main point is that you need experience to effectively choose an ideal BP/W or BC set up. Since at this point you have very little of that experience, you can "borrow" some from other more experienced divers in the form of advice to specific questions. Taking offense at that advice is silly, but I don't think you've done that, at least not as much as some people seem to.
Having said that, my reasons are not weak, they're based on exactly what you don't have, some experience diving with the type of gear in question.
