So, I've narrowed my search down to one or two packages that I've worked out with scubatoys, but I'm at a bit of an impass. One package, has the Zeagle Brigade, the other has the Aeris Atmos LX and will save me about $150 because that BC is on clearance. Both have identical gear besides the BC, but I've been trying to think of how the two match up on just a few points...
- Serviceability in foreign countries, Aeris vs Zeagle
- Packability (Needs to fit into a carry on bag)
- Compatibility for west coast cold water diving (Enough lift for 5'7", 140-150 lb person). The Zeagle has 35 lbs, the Aeris has 31 according to ScubaToys.
- Overall comfort level. I would like as little clutter up front as possible, and obviously as BC that has a good "fit".
So, if anyone has had any experience with either of these BC's, I would really appreciate the input! If your wondering why I posted asking about the Zeagle Express Tech, it was because I am looking at BP/W and standard back inflates at the moment, so I figured I'd ask this in another thread since it is considerably off topic compared to the others...
Thanks!

P.S: In case your wondering, I am going with Scubatoys because my LDS wasnt able to get me into a back inflate until atleast the $1300 mark, something I just cant do. For the same price as the Brigade, I could only get into a Subgear Accent, which is a jacket style BC that I really just didnt like the feel of.
EDIT!: I just realized that I posted this in the General Equipment section, if a mod could move it to the BC forums I would really appreciate it
