From tstormdiver: Nothing wrong with staying on Open Circuit,...

Of course not. OC is good to well beyond most diver’s ambitions.

From tstormdiver: ... if that is what suits your style of diving.

That almost sounds condescending. (I hope I mis-read it, most of your postings I like)

Rebreathers are just an expensive toy most divers do not need. Glamorizing them to newbies is about sales, and about akin to glamorizing dead boat solo diving, IMHO. Yes, they have their place, you should replace pro #5 with they slow heat loss during very long deco, another thing most divers will never do, and "looking cool" makes me think of exposed boxers / pants below the buns.
