I guess it might defeat the object of it all but I'm just curious.

Before anyone is qualified, they are already convinced they need to have standardized kit. So that is a kind of tough question.
Bob Sherwood would tell me "Ok Ahmed, we are going to change ONE THING each day till you change your gear"
Since that week (odd 150 trimix dives later), I have changed NOTHING on my kit because I just don't need to.
But changing me was not that simple, seeing that JJ had to give me a wing, David Rhea gave me fins and I swiped a pair of X-Shorts off Andrew G
It was a bit different for me though because I had been doing hundreds of deco dives per season and I suppose I was used to my ratty equipme nt by then.
BUT, I did leave a brass bolt snap on my SPG just to keep the mental bridge open
You guys could not believe how personally I take my kit.
I am pretty sure though, that you will find little if no need to change the configuration. That is perfect, no questions asked.
