Winging the Dolphin...

Ok guys, another one for the collective wisdom...

Sometime soon I'm going to fit a wing to my Dolphin instead of that terrible stab jacket.
I know I could build adaptors but that tends to take lots of time I don't have spare, so I'm looking at an off the shelf solution.

Either the conversion kit from V4-Tec V4tec Tankbands, Backplates and devices for technical diving - Dolphin Special

or the stainless Hydrogom shell from Martin Tec Equipment für Nitrox, Rebreather Höhlen Tauchen

The V4-tec answer leavis it looking more standard (and therefore less hassle on dive boats/club dives etc as it *looks* like a standardish dolphin)
The Stainless shell looks stronger, acts as a stand, and can have a lifting handle added.
Both are similarly expensive(!)

So what is the better solution? (proper mountings for bottles on the side is an attraction for both of them). What do you guys prefer?

Cheers,
Smudge (always asking questions! )
