Let's again look at what a BC needs to do. 1. Float your rig at the surface without you in it, and 2. Compensate for the loss or potential loss of buoynacy from your exposure suit.
Even big steels + 2 stages + backplate, bands,lights, reels, regs harness etc won't weigh 94 lbs.
I encourage people to determine for themselves what the actual positive buoyancy of their exposure suit is, but having said that, 40lbs is a very buoyant Drysuit, and just about off the charts for a wetsuit.
If your configuration is so negative at the surface that you need to fill your wing with 94 lbs of air to be comfortable you need to look at how your are equipped, and dump some of the heavy gear. For example: Get a light weight backplate, get aluminum stages, smaller can light etc.
Far better to solve the real problem of being grossly overwieghted, than compound it by fitting a huge wing.
