Yes Andrew, those inflatable PFD's are certainly great value. I also have them. What I can't understand is that I have two perfectly good $500 fully automatic Stormy Seas jackets with zip out sleeves ( were best on the market at the time ) and yet we get told that they no longer comply any more and the 150 PFD's do. Sit them side by side and ask yourself which you would prefer to be wearing in a man overboard scenario? I know what I prefer. Those 150's MUST have the optional crutch strap to prevent them riding up over your head, even though they don't come with them.
I think the authorities have gone completely mad in this instance
