Thanks Stephen
That is what I was thinking, what about extras - The BOV seems nice but too expensive at the moment, I think the ADV, anything else that you would recomend?

ADV and tempstick. Leave the OCB/BOV out of it for the first while

Inspo vision with adv / temp stick. I would also get an extra O2 button on the lungs. This is ideal as you can always have the o-fuck bottle connected.

I have an extra dil button too, but it's not as important. You can only get extra buttons when you are ordering new lungs.

The OCB is great but can be done without if your budget is tight. I think it's a buy after diving the unit a while when you start going deeper.

The evo and evo+ are ideal for smaller framed people or if you are planning on travelling alot.

Now you have peoples opinions on the units,  go try them and see how you feel.  Both the Inspo and Evo plus will serve your needs.

I dive both and as said at 6.2 I have no problem with the Evo +.  To be fair Im biased as I hate ( FROM DAY ONE ) the Inspo Case and find it a pig to dive with.  The evo+ for me is just so much nicer in the water.
 

Now have fun its your money  ;)

Im off diving, feckin weather.

Thanks lads for all the advice it is appreciated

People have said that the wing and harness are not great / could be better. I have a oms harness / backplate and wing that I use for sidemount, I could use this instead if it was better - do you know if you can purchase it without these items and then put that money into good accessories?

Also any instructors, send me your details (Some did already but I deleted posts by accident)

Thanks again & best regards
