<font color='#000080'>The sea eagle is a dualk bladder wing. You might want to think about whether you want this. Some do, I don't. I dive in a drysuit and don't feel like I need one, and also don't feel that if I've holed one, the other is likely to survive it either. Others will offer other opinions, but that's my choice.
A good first wing (depending a bit on what you want to use it for) is the Buddy wing. It will do up to twin 12s, once you start strapping on stages and things you might want a bit more lift, but for now that will do that job. Personal reccommendation is to have a look at Dom's website, which has a good guide to setting up the thing, someone will help me with a link to that as I'm not on my home computer. I dived an almost identical rig with twin 10s and 12s on it, and then 300 twin 7s, and it did the job nicely.
FOr your £295, you could have an OMS wing with combro plate, and home-built harness (easily done with a bit of webbing and some D-rings and bits) which would probably be a bit more flexible than the Sea-Eagle IMO. If you break a bit of the Eagle, you're goign to have problems, as if I understand it correctly it is oe big unit. It also weighs a ton if I'm remembering the spec right. You can use your OMS/buddy wing with an aluminium plate, or ABS plate (suppied with the TekWing) on holiday, and you'll save weight and bulk over your BCD in most cases.
Hope this helps. Just my opinions, hopefully you'll get a load more on here in a bit.
Digs.
