One of the more serious arguments against the use of octo-inflators such as SP Air 2 or Atomic SS1 is that in an OOA situation buoyancy control becomes difficult. I like the octo-inflator set up and wonder if it can be improved with a Remote Exhaust Elbow.
While it wouldn't be as comfortable as the Trim Grip on Aqualung's Airsource 3 appears to be, I imagine it might be still better than having to take the octo out of the mouth to deflate the BCD. ( Plus I haven't read too many good reviews of Airsource 3 anyway. Most popular models appear to be Scubapro and Atomic mentioned above).
My BC is Oxycheq Mach V and I am considering to replace the original elbow Wing Elbow : OxyCheq - DiveOps, Analyzers and Scuba Diving Equipment with DiveRites' Remote Exhaust Elbow BCD Parts and Components - Dive Gear Express part DR-BC2807.
