Seaquest Pro QD + SD - Any reason not to buy?

Hi,

I'm currently chasing one of these on ebay. They seem to go at around
£150 - £170 or so. A Pro Unlimited sold recently for £180.

Any good reasons not to buy this particular BCD?

(I'm fully aware of the downside of 2nd hand and ebay, and am prepared
to take the risk on the money, and to have the BCD serviced after
purchase).

Many thanks.

My wife has an Eva and a friend has a Diva both womens jacket's
similar to the QD, both very happy with them. DPO's is now about six
years old and been used hard both for diving and training and apart
from being very faded is still in good condition.

No, nor any bad reasons. I've got the old version without the Fancy locking
mechanism on the weight pouches (which I don't use, anyway) and it is
superb. I haven't found anything I don't like about it.

As ever YMMV.
