I am toying with switching to a DGX bp/w set and am hung up on the SS vs aluminum choice, but not due to adding too much overall weight. Background; I currently dive with a back inflate BC and have LP 85s and a M series HP 100 for tanks. There are a couple of local shore dives that require a bit of a swim out (approximately 200 yards on one of them) which we generally do on our backs. This gives me no trouble with the 85s, but the 100 causes me grief. Even with the bc fully inflated it feels like the 100 is pulling down hard and makes it difficult to catch my breath. My fear is that a SS plate will lead to the 85s having the same affect. Any advise and guidance would be greatly appreciated. And, yes, selling the m series and getting a standard Fabre 100 has crossed my mind.
