I have the Halcyon setup you describe, one backplate & harness with two 
wings and adapter.  However, it's too much trouble to swap them back and 
forth and I will be getting a second backplate soon.

I've seen setups (OMS) where the tank does stand way off the diver's back, 
but this isn't the case with my Halcyon; it's still pretty close.  I have 
managed to puncture my single-tank Pioneer wing in only a year of moderate 
use though - bummer.
