its been my experience that long time CCR user's RMV is terrible when they go on OC .
Joe, thank you for saying that, it came as quite a shock doing my trimix drills that my ability to swim without an air source was far less then I was accustomed to when diving OC. It taught me a lesson, I now frequently check my bailout reg for position and condition as time is considerably shorter then when I dove OC.
My $0.02 is regardless of which option you choose, you must be proficient, and practice regularly. For myself, that means every dive I do a few drills.
