I think they're pig ugly but that's just MHO

Fitted a Halcyon inflator and I had a spare Scubapro R380 2nd stage so that hung below my chin on a necklace holder.

That took care of wing inflation and onboard bailout for early Vision dives.

Once I started diving that much deeper, I removed the onboard bailout as a 3L diluent cylinder doesn't last long (at depth).

The Halcyon inflator hasn't missed a beat in 2.5 years.

Exactly what I did. But I did shorten the inflator hose by about 6-8 inches. I still have the R380 and necklace. It's not in the way so it's still there.
