DGX has a complete DR single set up for US$299.00.
DIY the harness and crotch strap if you don't like the material and they cost peanut.
I never consider the "H".

II like the Scuba Pro Tech with all the padding and d-rings, then buying a wing of choice, adding a crotch strap and STA if nessary...
And I'm done here.
does that mean you like it?
Not apple to apple comparison. Halcyon Eclipse is $800. For DR to be equivalent, it will be:
DR tranplate package: $525
Standard plate: $25
XT wing: $100
Backpad: $10
Total $660. If yo consider STA, then it becomes $690. Still cheaper than Halcyon, but much smaller differences. Some may said you dont need STA, some prefer it. You choice.
Persoanlly, I won't go with Transplate at all since you are considering Eclipse which doesn't have the quick adjustment anyway. It cost is issue, I would go with basic DR plate, XT wing, but get your own harness from DGX, webbing and hardware instead. The DR basic harness which I have used totally use the wrong webbing for the job: way too soft/sloppy for shoulder harness and way way to stiff for crotch strap.
