Diving negative is making your buoyancy control harder. And you have no reason that you need to be.... Its borrowing a necessity from some diving, carrying lots and lots of air, to conditions where it is not a necessity. Even safety issues aside of no ditchable and being negative on the surface when you forgot to turn the valve on.
Edit: You're discarding a safety feature for no benefit, and actually a cost in buoyancy control, you have no risk if you lose a pocket with half your 2-4 lb. ditchable. Yeah, that's not a lot ditchable, but that is all you have, for those tanks at least, AL or LP you would have more.
