It's always best to have a crotch strap and the buckle allows you to attach one easily.Does anyone know if it still would be better to have a crotch strap?

Ok, I'll get one.
But my question is that there is not a clip-in waist buckle that separates in the middle instead of the belt style buckle. Perhaps making one clip longer than the other so a single crotch strap can be added in the middle?
I have the TE Deluxe with the Zip weight pouches and the crotch strap, used it for the first time today and it was awesome. The only issue I had was not tightening the tank straps enough to start with. I have my waist snap buckle a bit to the left so that my crotch strap rides in the center, it was a very comfortable rig to wear. Prior to today I have only used a jacket style BCD but I also only have 15 dives as of today. I also put a D ring on the left hip to clip my SPG to and I have no D ring on the right side as my octo rides in a necklace. I may end up putting one on the right side but as of now it is not being missed.
