Hey all on a recent dive outing I noticed a few things funky about my SMS75.

1) This was the first time I noticed that the upper dump valve was digging into my back. has anyone else experienced this?
2) When dumping air from my BCD the valve is either fully open or closed, it didn't allow me to dump a little bit of air out of the bcd. I was able to compensate by using the LPI valve. I opened up the upper valve and it appears to be working properly in my garage and there isn't any corrosion on the spring nor the seal. I'm not the original owner so its possible the spring is worn out, I could try swapping it out with a different dump valve spring.

Any thoughts on fixing these issues or is it just time to get the XDeep Tec 2.0?
