"During the dive to verify the bob is working I just need to reach up and open the BOB dsv lever and nose breathe."

How about the added deadspace while doing this? Could it be a problem when deep?

"If I need to bail I just have to move the BOB dsv from the side p-port to the front p-port and insert a blanking plug (secured to side of mask with bit of cave line) or blank it with the primary dsv (harder but possible)"

Doesn't exactly sound like quick & easy thing to do in a stressful situation? Did you have the balls to try it out deep and alone?
