I am wondering if anyone has any experience with the XDEEP Hydros 40 wing. I am about to pull the trigger to switch to Halcyon, but thinking of it as an alternative being $200 cheaper ($339 vs $540).

Main concern I have about the Hydros wing is that they state they reduced the volume of the wing in the valve area to reduce cluttering and improve valve access.

I tend to be very head heavy and have the tanks sitting way down, so I wonder if the reduced amount of lift (which XDEEP calls "dead zone") in that area will introduce a problem I wouldn't have if I switched to the Halcyon wing.
