Hi all
I hope this question is not deemed inappropriate for this list, I have 
tried the archive but it doesn't seem to be working at all.

I will be treating myself to new kit after Xmas (new job). I intend to
get twin 10l tanks to be used independantly for deep air diving and I
also have a 12l tank with a 3l pony (in a pony bag). I asked the scuba
uk list about the choice of BC, and those that had tried both stab jacket
and wings recommended wings style BCs, with Zeagle wings getting lots of 
praise. I know of 2 makes of wings definately on sale here in the UK
(Zeagle and DiveRite). I also know that OMS make wings style BCs, but 
OMS kit is not readily available here in the UK yet. I have contacted
Julia Pounder (the OMS and AquaCorps agent in the UK) and all she could
supply me with at the moment is an OMS brochure and a vague price, which
is 40-50 pounds more than the other makes.

What I want to know, preferably from people who have experience of more 
than one make, is which make is the best for the price (the Uk price will
be different, but the difference between makes will be similar), which is
most comfortable to wear (I have a neoprene drysuit), which has the easiest
tank attachment to use and is a double bag model worth the extra. Also I
know that the Zeagle wings have various optional extras, which ones are
worth having.

Thanks in advance for any information
