Mattmexico,
I agree wtih your thoughts about bailout 100%. Why on earth wouldn't you want to have that little extra % of chance to go to bailout using BOV if you had it? Sure, they seam clunky, large and get in the way, but what the heck, everything we wear with CCR could be decribed that way! The new Sentinel I have ordered has a BOV, and I am just waiting for the Inspo BOV to be available so that I can order one for that as well. I just don't see a down side. As you mentioned, the BOV will most likely be plumbed into the small internal tank, but is all I need is 2 or 3 or 4 sanity breaths, and I can switch to my outboard dil or O2 tank, depending on depth, and make my way back to the surface, if I determine that is the correct course of action. Have some green.
Your thoughs just make way too much sense!
Regards,
Randy
