OP
Does anyone know the difference between a DiveRite Deluxe Harness and a Deluxe Harness QR? I have been looking at both on DiveRite's site, but I don't see a difference.

Just based on a quick look at the images on the DiveRite site, the QR version has a Quick Release buckle built into the webbing on the left shoulder.
Could you take a pic of this and post it?
Thanks

Sorry I have not posted any pics yet. I have been trying for three days, new phone and new computer problems and working 12 to 14 hours a day. I'll post some pics when I get some batteries for my girlfriends camera.
OP
I have decided to go with a Dive Rite transplate. I am curious what size those of you who own it wear. The size chart lists a waist to shoulder length. I am going to call and find out how to measure, but I am curious what size women are wearing. I'm 5'9", 180#.

OP
I found this sizing chart, http://www.divegearexpress.com/bcs/transplate.shtm. l measured myself in just a t-shirt, and I'm 19". I find it hard to believe I could be a large.
Size Shoulder Strap Size Range
Medium 15 - 18 inches
Large 17 - 22 inches
X-Large 18.5 - 23.5 inches
XXL 24+ inches
The TransPlate harness is available in several sizes with size indicating shoulder strap length. Our experience at Dive Gear Express is that getting the fit correct is very important. Otherwise, the harness seems loose in the water. Don't guess. Please carefully take the actual measurements explained below to make sure you select exactly the right size. To ensure proper shoulder strap length, measure from a point at the top of the shoulder to a point immediately below the waist, as shown in the accompanying diagram. Be sure to allow for exposure suit thickness. As a general rule, men might consider selecting the same size TransPlate harness as their preferred T-shirt size.
Dive Rite updated their TransPlate harness to offer improved size adjustability. The TransPlate has a new sizing chart. There are now four sizes: Medium, Large, XL, and XXL. The Medium is the size most commonly selected by women and smaller men. The Large or XL is the size most commonly selected by men. The XXL size is an option for taller or larger than average individuals.
