Let me qualify this...
This isn't meant to be a bp/w vs. softpack vs. traditional bcd thread.
I've seen phrases such as: "trims out better..."; "more stable..."; "allows better buoyancy control...", etc., and I'm always looking to improve skills. If there's a bit of equipment that helps accomplish the above (or makes it more difficult), I'm interested in hearing what has contributed the most.
Is it trim weights? If so, where did you locate them. Was it tightening up on the shoulder straps? Raising or lowering your rig on the tank(s)? Change in approach?
What helped... what hurt?
