Hi John,
You asked for comments.  The only thing I'd like to add is in response to
what you said;
I frequently dive wrecks solo and use a manifold, since I don't like swapping
regs.
***end***
I can see your reasoning, and *I don't think you are wrong* but I also
dive wrecks solo and I *like* to swap regs.  It assures me that both
systems are working properly at an early stage in the dive, usually before
I have got myself under a deco ceiling.  It is also good practice for gas
diving  where you do lots of reg switches, often under trying circumstances,
such as decending a rope in a gale force current.
Just a thought, as I said, you aren't wrong.  There is no 'right' way anyway.
Cheers Jason :)
