OTOH, I like my sidemount Rebreather so much that I've been using it as a primary system. Small twinset of backgas (7's), rebreather clips on like a stage, small O2 stage (or pony mount, still undecided which I prefer). Bags of bail out. If it all goes tits up, undoing two clips and swapping a hose gives me a standard Hog rigged twinset, a system which I know and is intuitive and doesn't consume massive brainpower. Adding a 2nd RB (and maybe reducing the twinset to 5's) wouldn't be a stretch. That said, I'm a homebuilder so my trust in my CC kit may not match everyone else's.
Exactly the rig I used for my dive that upset the NDC. Inverted independent 5's backmount. D5 on the left sidemount, O2 on the right sidemount. Worked a dream - OK so I was driving the Rebreather with a 4l of 10/50 also slide slung not my back gas but the principle is the same. I could go OC on any one of my drive gases as well. After "that dive" I dumped the CCR and went for a splash just on my OC backmounts.
