Look into Zeagle they also have a tech,  Look into Diverite they have a BC
called the Transpack that is very versatile.

I personally have tried the Zeagle Tech, the old model is good for single
tanks, but it rolls a little with double, in their new model they have made
some adjustment with regards to strap attachments that they say will be more
firm and comfortable.

I have tried the backplates, they are sturdy but sometimes digs into your
back and when you are walking you have to lean slightly forward. A lot of
Tech and Cave divers dive with backplates. The Diverite Transpack is sturdy
does not roll, you can walk almost straight with doubles and is comfortable
on your back.  It has many different configurations when it comes to bladders.

I have seen and tried on but not dove the Dacor Rig.  It was sturdy, but not
as confortable as the Diverite.  Its a little bulky in size.

Keep in mind that this is only my opinion and that other divers might have
their own as well as what you like might be different.  The only suggestion
that I can make to you is check them all out, try them on, and you come to
the conclusion from the information that every one has given to you.  Its an
investment and you do not want to buy twice.  If you need more info Email.
Good luck,   Jim
