How many BPs do you use?

[Colliam7]

I recently acquired a drysuit and adjusted the Hog harness on my steel plate accordingly. Problem is, I really like the steel plate for warm water diving too. I have a Kydex plate for travel when weight is an issue, but I prefer the heavier plate. ... How have you dealt with similar issues?

I have one SS BP set up for my drysuit (singles or doubles, I use the same plate). Has a quick release on the left side to aid getting out of my rig. I have another SS BP set up for my wetsuit, for diving singles. Has a single piece web harness. I have a third, AL BP set up for my wetsuit, for diving doubles. Has a quick release on the left side to aid getting out of my rig.

The answer is always MORE GEAR!

An eloquent, concise, and fundamentally liberating statement of a universal truth.

I have two plates with harnesses, SS for local with 7mm wet, and an AL plate for tropics/travel, so no need for adjustment, currently a 30lb wing which I use for both plates, am considering getting an 18lb wing for the AL plate but what with "global recession" etc maybe not...

Thanks all for your responses. For now I'll deal with just the two, but yes, more gear is definitely in order in the near future.
