Meg - Optima ( diving the Optima with 2 ltr steel's ) combo sounds good. O2 on the side, maybe two for redundancy, larger sidemount tanks for dilluent or in case you need to drop it all and do a little no-mount excursion ... just kidding.
I have thought about the Megalodon and KISS being combined into a single unit....with the scrubber canisters being on your back almost like doubles, then the O2 cylinders being just on the outside of each scrubber, and the 2 diluent cylinders being rigged as sidemounts(steel 50cf cylinders would be perfect for this, and provide some reasonable size OC bailout). The nice thing about the KISS, in this configuration, is that the counterlungs are on your back....which eliminates the bulk of double OTS counterlungs.
Just a thought....
