keith, I think you're on deck for support next time at at the black hole so we can make them as heavy as we want.
You're going to love the thing.
What I would really like is one of the canisters for the LED lights, that has the variable power setting. The heat from the vest is proportional to the power that's put through it, so turning the power down will turn down the heat. I'd like a little less heat and a longer burn time for most of my diving.
But my real lust is for the LM canister with two 10ah batteries in it, each with its own switch and E/O connector. You run the vest off one and the light off the other, and when you're on deco with the light stowed, you can switch the vest to the battery that's had far less drain and sit there and grin. Unfortunately, I don't have $800 burning a hole in my pocket.

You do lose the benefit of redundant canisters with that option, though.

If your can has 2 batteries in it and 2 cords, you lose. And I don't know about the variable power canisters. The Halcyon EOS has the electronics in the head, not the canister, but other companies might be different.
I generally want my stuff as simple and robust as possible, provide options in the event of a failure, and easy to fix in the field if it does break.

Yes -- if your canister floods, you lose both heating and light.
I'm a relative novice -- I've been diving for 7 years, and I only have about a thousand dives. But until this week, I had never flooded a canister.
