Downtime

Hi,

Good luck on your decision. I can tell you that I spent quite a long time trying to make the same decision as you.

I decided for the Optima for quite a few reasons, and if you do a search you will find a few other threads on the topic. Many people on this forum have opinions, which is not totally a bad thing, but take their advice as just that; Advice. In the end, you will need to decide for yourself.

The great thing about this board, is there is a huge amount of collected wisdom in the members here, and they will be able to answer any specific questions you might have (e.g. Does a back-mounted counter lung breathe as easy as an over-the-shoulder counter lung?).

Good luck with your journey.

Cheers,
Michael
