Jim...I see you went the DR route.
You are going to get a lot of opposing positions on your question. Did you go with the delux harness with quick releases or the continuous strapping style??
First of all, I too have the DR TransPlate and I use the delux harness and the Rec wing.
There are some that will hate the delux harness. They feel that the releases are points of failure. Now, that could be a consideration if they are hanging multiple deco bottles off their rig. But, if you do just recreational diving like me it isnt an issue at all. I have never seen a quick release fail. Some probably have, but it hasnt been my experience.
There are also some that will not like the Rec wing for a couple of reasons. One is that it has a bungee cord. They feel that is a point of entanglement. Again, I dont cave dive nor do I really do deep wreck penetration so it isnt an issue to me. I like the way it controls the bladder and keeps it from tacoing when I dive singles. You may have to adjust it a little at first but I think it works fine.
Then there are some that wont like it because they feel the Rec wing isnt an adequate doubles wing, and , no wing can do both doubles and singles.
After all that.....and some other issues that will be raised....you may feel like you have made a mistake. You havent. You bought a quality rig and it will last you a good amount of time and serve you well. If you go more techie you will probably change out the delux harness for a continuous strap. Thats ok.
Enjoy your rig. I really like mine and if others dont, that is their problem...not mine... or yours.
By the way, did you go with the small, medium or large weight pouches?? I am VERY neg bouyant and the small ones are more than adequate for me. Push the pouches way to the back ...as close to the plate as you can....and your trim may work out just fine.
Take care Jim and enjoy.!
