I think you should suck one and see. I am so new to CCR as a Box pilot, that I haven't even left the hanger, but I do know that the faff of doing a deep dive OC is many times that of the Box. This became very clear to me as I was running around like a blue-ar*ed fly getting ready for a mix dive - whilst my instructor (using my Box) sat and grinned. And waddling along wearing twin-15's and 2x10's kind of proved the point just a wee bit more...
I think CCR is a progressive piece of kit from OC. However I do see the time where more will switch earlier from OC. OC is here to stay because of the simplicty - it is a great tool to teach in-water skills to newbies and to allow them to develop those skills to the point at which they are capable/willing to progress further...
Why not try one? You might just like it... (Queue Dr Pepper music...)
I even invented a DIR DIY unit - I'll see if I can post it later... Hog-looping was a bitch...
