BUUUUULLSHIT!!!
Sorry, but there's no other way of describing the above.
Controls fitted to a BC: inflate, deflate and dump (sometimes up to three)
Controls fitted to a wing: inflate, deflate and dump (normally one - so fewer decisions to make)
How many novices have you started on wings, anyway, Terry?

course by maybe as little as half a day, making you less competative, just

If you teach them on wings from the start, you might find that percentage going up...and those buying BCDs going down...but that's a seperate issue.
