In addition, there is the issue of double 130s and a wetsuit . . . which is real. You definitely need redundant buoyancy (drysuit, lift bag, or, although I don't like the option, a double wing).
Chris, I have a couple AL plates sitting around and you could borrow one to try out. We could work a deal if you want to buy it.I do not believe any of my LDS's rent doubles. I think I called on this last year...

Another thing you could do would be to double up the 100s and take along a 130 and a fill whip to top off the doubles between dives.
