I also guess that if your weight belt exactly compensate the buyoyancy of the loop, your still little heavy at bottom, but dramaticaly lightweighted at the end of a fast ascent.
A partial weight drop could be a solution?
That is one of the selling points for weight integrated harnesses/ BCs. It is easy to drop only half of your lead worn that way. It gives you more control of the situation.
Down side is that if in a dry suit and you must ditch the rig for some reason (and exit wreck/ ascend using just a hand held stage) you had better be at the shot/ buoy/ anchor line. Otherwise you're on an express elevator to the surface.
