Thanks
You're right about the MBSS; without a real cummerbund it leaves almost all the weight on your shoulders via the two relatively thin shoulder straps, unlike other plate carriers that distribute some of the weight more evenly via the cummerbund.
But the benefits are that it's much lighter (I found I never really needed the molle space under my arms) and that you can actually use the molle on your back for more than just hydration! All you need to do is undo the two side clips, swing the entire rig around so it's backwards, and presto - you can access the stuff on your back. I personally keep my extra BBs + BB loader + bottles of water/gatorade in my MAP pack. This means I don't need a dedicated GP pouch for that stuff.
