yes that,s right, go the 55lb wing, your regret it later , when you need to go that extra depth you will need larger tanks , i have this wing here in oz , and i know that if i want to go smaller or larger tanks , i can!
 
I say get the right tool for the job, 40lb. If later you'll switch to heavy st tanks for ocean diving consider getting another wing, but that may be along way down the road. I know some folks use a 40# for st95's soit can always be used that way too.

All the Dive Rites seem to have some weird gusset control thingy?
I have a DR Rec wing I've using with double 80's a few times. The gusset cord is really easy to remove. If you can lace your shoes you can figure out how to take it off. The pull dump (assuming you want to remove it) is more involved to take off but not really that difficult. The main difficulty is going to your LDS and getting the guy behind the counter to understand what part you want him to order.
 
You look around and you can come up a Dive Rite 55lb Classic wing pretty reasonably. There's a lot of them out there. I use it when I use steel or aluminum doubles.
