OK, the previous thread for this was hijacked by people on both sides and has become totally useless.
Why don't we try to be helpful to this person who wants a "cool" BC and try to give him suggestions of brands and styles we like and Reasons that they are good and bad.
A great example was the explination in the previous thread about the HUB system going through it's shortcomings.
Clearly he could have asked for opinions on Backplates and wings if he wanted to. Let's just consider that he didn't and he gave good examples of what he likes and why.
And please, let's keep it clean

I want a cool BC
My old BC looks a little ragged and very much out of date. I think something very cool is in order.
I want something I can travel with but still use in the local lakes, moderate to warm water rec diving.I have been looking at the Mares Pegasus, and Morphos (I like the way it folds into a bag for carring) and the Dacor Talon AT.
You might notice all of these BC's have the new air trim device and some sort of carring device built in. I do like the neatness and convenience of these units. I am also thinking about Mares and Dacors new HUB units but they may be a little more than I want to spend, although concidering they are equiped with regs they may not be that high.
If anyone out there has used or has an opinion on these units I would appreciate your input. I would also welcome your opinion on other BC's for easy traveling and rec. diving.
