| Nothing wrong with inverted if it works for ya. I could not reach my valves at all so the only option was inverted and thats what I did. The cost, as you mentioned is not a con just an inconvience, and just like your CD slob knob mine failed too, on the bottom! I loved it inverted when I was just diving twins apart form the fact that the cage I used was a custom built job and it protruded abit and was pressing on my weight belt into my back which was sore form time to time.
But as my diving progressed and I started staged deco dives I found that the stages were in my way and my arms weren't long enough to reach aorund/over the stages to shutdown, and I found that sticking my arms between the stages and my back mounts really restricted my movement so I foolishly dived afew more deep (well for me anyway 55m) dives before I came to the conclusion that I was destained to have a accident if I contuined so in the last fews weeks Im gone back the orginal way up, but I have changed my suit in the mean while so now I can reach my valves agian.
The only real con I came across was that I found it a chore kitting up coz of all those extra long hoses, oh and I did notice a definate increase drag when I inverted them which ment alittle more work to cover the same distance/keep up with buddy so increased breathing rate.
Use my experience.
