My opinion is it is a bad choice at all.
Too easy to overrun the constant bleeding system. Dash down faster than
the bleeding rate creates a relative vacuum in the relative chamber,
sucking water in. The latter's residues further clog up the bleeding
hole, thus the reg ends up with no depth compensation.
Using it intermittently , like in a secondary, or drysuit inflator may
create the same problems.
Sherwood knows this but they keep lying about it.
