I did use Apeks DST 1st stages but swaped them for DS4s as they route better when using a DIR set up. Take a look at the DIR stuff for hose routing as it seems to work really well

A SS backplate will take weight off the weightbelt, but an ali travels better as it's lighter. I have a 3mm SS plate as I'm not going to be using it abroad

My trusty old weightbelt sits nicely below the harness, and I only have 4 kgs on it so it's comfortable. I've never used any other type of weight system.

I would try kit before buying - having a look at other people's kit is great as it can give you an idea of what your preference might be. I use a Halcyon wing with a 1 piece harness but I don't think it's universally loved

There are quite a few posts about this subject, have a seach through the forums as there are some great posts and links on previous threads. The DIR forum has some, but there are loads in the Equipment section

No chance
I usually leave the backplate and harness attached to the twins all the time to make it easier to move around. You'd be surprised how much easier it is to carry them about on your back rather than in your hands
Hope the credit card has plenty of room left
