Heh.  Yeah, George, thought you'd enjoy this one: first thing I
did, after getting my new Cis Lunar, is rip off the hokey
piece-of-shit DUI excuse for a harness/BC, and stick on a 
Halcyon steel backplate and one-piece harness (this did take
the assistance of an 80-ton press, and a 60-ton sheet metal
bender, but it got done).

BIG difference - the thing's now trimmed like a champ, and
the weight of the steel makes the rig perfectly neutral.

So, absolutely, it's *amazing* how far you can extend
the DIR one-piece harness philosophy!
