45 lbs is way more than you will ever need for diving a single Al80.  You don't
say what size/type of doubles, but 45 lbs is a bit small for steel doubles,
especially if you are carrying stage or deco tanks with you.

A better solution would be Halcyon 55 lb wings for doubles and 18 or 25 lb
wings for the singles.

Also, I own Diverite and Halcyon wings and I can assure that the Halcyon is
superior in quality of construction and materials.
