I'm sure as hell going to explain why I don't use them, and leave them to make their own decisions, as I feel it's not fair to do otherwise.
I don't think this is true. Read the updated sections on Safe Diving and it says that BSAC considers them to be "Safe" (not "Safest"). You are at liberty to add in extra conservatism features (and are encouraged to do so).

When I teach 88s, I promote them as being the minimum level of deco I would feel comfortable doing, and I emphasise that I always do more than this, unless an incident happens on the dive.

That's a good solution I guess - thanks for the idea.
