I'll re-recite my mantra:

Dive well designed and correctly maintained gear and it'll be trouble free.
Dive poorly designed or poorly maintained gear and it'll be troublesome.
Dive the former and you'll be confident.
Dive the latter and you'll be skitterish and will be adding more and more crap and will be performing more and more in-water routines to support your unreliable rebreather.

imo spot on - especially the last part!

i close mine on ascent to aid keeping min loop/ppo2 levels otherwise its left open.
