I've been using a TekWing for a while now, and I've found it great. Very similar setup to Dom's, with a combro plate and bolts and bands. Works for me, and I've found it suitable for more advanced stuff (I'd put twin 12s on it, but much more than that it's going to struggle)

Basically, I think the OMS is a rip-off. If you can get one second hand, it might be able to compete with the buddy for value for money, but there's not a lot of second hand OMS wings about as far as I can tell. They are good bits of kit, and fairly indestructible, but overpriced.

I've never really seen the point of the IQ and similar harnesses. I only use an S/S plate and webbing in this country, and when travelling take the ABS plate that came with it. Works for me, and again is a lot cheaper than the price of ready-made options. You can also customise my harness in about 10 seconds to put extra D-rings, take D-rings off, add clips, pockets, all sorts.
