Sounds great , won't work for our style - we need to control both the bc and the suit with one hand at the same time. If the reg fails, we control the suit with the valve. We use the standard fittings only on our suits - everything must be interchangeable. If the gas is lost we transfuse from each other. Trust me, chief, I have thought all of this through very carefully. The only missing link lately, until OMS made a dedicated regulator, was finding a replacement for the Poseiden that would not flow too fast. The real beauty of diving with us is that the show always goes on, since we have no tomfoolery going on with gear, and we always have one response to each situation, an advantage that you only learn by spending most of your diving time at ten atmospheres - you learn about the "quick and the dead". I did not realize that the "troppo" was your address - I deleted all of the other messages that did not have your name. Did I miss anything good?
