Hopefully I'm not missing someting blindingly obvious here, I'm not a caver, 
but I'm wondering why the hogarthian cave setup never includes those 
octopus/BC inflater combos like the AIR2 in place of the backup reg tied 
around the neck with surgical tubing.

Is it because the reliability or performance of these regulators is suspect?

Or, is there something about the configuration that makes these regulators 
unacceptable, e.g. difficulties operating the BC while breathing through the 
regulator?

I'm slowly adapting more of the hogarthian setup for general open water diving 
and I'm wondering if there's a good argument for tossing the AIR2 with my next 
BC and securing a backup reg to my neck caver style.
