I recently switched over from a Seaquest Balance to a BP/W with standard hog harness. I was initially concerned about underwater comfort/chafing because I generally dive in just a bathing suit - no shirt or anything. My concerns really wound up being unwarranted - I feel like I have almost no BC on at all underwater now -- much more "at one" with the BC. Trim/stability all much improved. I also went from needing about 8lbs in my Balance to 0 lbs in my BP/W, with an AL plate.
As for negatives, it is more difficult to get in and out of. Requires a bit of squirming around, but no huge deal. I also would not want to spend much time in the thing outside of the water, though I don't see that being an issue worth worrying about.
All in all, I am very happy with the switch and am happy I drank the "kool-aid" on this board.
