Ok. Need some advice here.

First up. Going to run a sure grip with 2 DD tacos, hsgi blowout, and mag net dump pouch (along with something for flashlight, knife etc). Looking to try and stay modular so planning on running the PC with a ESSTAC rig, lvl IV plates. I figure that will cover everything from just belt or stripped PC all the way through all up as required.

As mentioned, I'm looking pretty hard at both the PIG and the Paraclete. Seems both are great and get good reviews but I can't figure out why 1 is 329 and 1 is 179. I feel like I'm missing something and I'd rather buy once and all that. The main thing I can tell is the split front on the PIG but that really can't be it? I'm open to other suggestions as well please if you think something else might fit the bill.

Thanks

the fact that the PIG has a great degree of size customizability and abilty to carry a larger variety of types and sizes of plates

there is also a separate soft armor compartment in addition to the plate compartment
