What to buy, Inspo or KISS???

I am kinda torn between the two at the moment. I like the idea of flying it manualy, but the YBOD is also a pretty sweet unit..

I plan on using it for deeper dives and scootering with lots of wreck pennitration.. One of the issues I have heard of with the YBOD is that when scootering the WOB is considerable and Im not sure about all the clutter of OTS counter lungs.. How much do they get in the way of slinging deco bottles?

Anything else I should take into consideration when choosing between the two?

thanks
Phil

Try them for yourself !!!
I see you're in California.
For the Kiss: Get in touch with Alan Studley US rep for Jetsam and try both the CK and SK. He's based out of Napa/Monterey and travels extensively to dive/teach/present Jetsam good stuff.
Alan is on this board. I can't put my hand on his contact info from the board now. Stephan, can you get that?
For the inspo: find a store that does pool try dives..
You can also get in touch with Curt Bowen @ ADM and see if they have a Rebreather presentation soon in your area. They've done that in the past.
Best
