Good C/A?

I'm in the market for a new high-end chest/arm unit. I've heard that Heaton, Brian's, and Vaughn makes good ones. I'd most be interested in the Brian's Alite, Heaton 6750, or Vaughn 5500 but the Battram C/A also looks good. Does any one have any advice?

Thanks. I think I'm going to be getting a CM9. Out of curiosity, how far down is the belly pad supposed to go? Is it just personal preference?

It's just personal preference. My Eddy was an Xtra large and is 21" from the bottom of the collar to the end. I ordered my Miller the same length.

It depends too on if you wear your c/a inside your pants, or outside them. If you wear it inside, you wouldn't want it TOO long, because it would push the unit up your neck being uncomfortable.

I wear mine outside and prefer the length to the waist at the belt. This gives me adequate protection when my body is upright, but doesn't bunch up when I crouch.

A selling point for the CM9 for me was to get the extra 2" in the body and an extra 1.5" on each arm.
