I find the short-arsed KISS case gives me horrendous backache on long dives or when using a scooter. Not too mention nearly dislocating a few joints when trying to get in it on a boat bench.

I know, I know by a Narkedat90 stand...

I found the Inspo uncomfortable in standard trim (though admittedly I probably didn't dive it long enough to get my weighting spot on). It always pushed down on the small of my back (I'm 6'4" tall).

I now have, for various reasons related to my 5' tall wife, an Evo on John's prototype Narked@90 Evo stand. Although it is much the same height as the Inspo, because it is square at the bottom and because the weight of the Evo is higher up my back, it trims beautifully and pushes down on my backside. I doubt it could be much better.

Cheers,
