PerroneFord:As for attaching the weights to the side d-rings, it may not get in the way of the rebreather per se, but seems it could be a pain to work around when you're carrying bailout as well as deco bottles as was the case with this person.
It doesn't get in the way at all. The weights are up on your back and out of the way. I can dive that setup with 2 stages in SM config without any issues.
I could snap a few pics if you would like. I should be back at the shop sometime this week. BTW do you have the MEG attached with Camstraps or hardmount?
Cheers
Mike
