have a look at the backplate and wings setup.  i bought an oceanic probe last february, and sold it in october - bought a DR Trek Wing/Stainless Steel backplate/Harness webbing and stainless steel trinkets / clips for it.

Then, after diving it a couple of times, thought to myself "Why the #### didnt i do this in the first place ??"

Regs - Apeks are good (though a pain in the arse in Australia to get serviced), dont EVER buy Oceanic 1st stages (DX4 DIN shat itself to the point where even Oceanic didnt know what was wrong - 3 months old).  Fins - i went for the diverite monoprene ones cos they were about &#36130AU....each to their own.  Have a crack at split fins though, they are pretty good.

Just bought the Otter Brittanic (as some on here would know), bloody good suit (membrane), excellent price and works a treat.  Have heard a lot about neo drysuits, none of it good but i am not qualified to offer personal opinions on them (other than they are a cast-iron bitch to get out of !).

Beg borrow steal gear, try the BP + Wings setup, try everything then buy.
