This clearly ties in with the stories about soldiers spending their personal money to buy their own combat gear.

I know for a fact that my M4 vest can carry more C7 mags than the CF tac vest because it was designed to. I'm not in the forces but I hear the CF vest can carry 4 mags, some grenades and combat supplies (water, MRE). A regular M4 vest can usually carry 12 M4/M16/C7 mags, is MOLLE compatible (which is more than the CF vest) can be hooked up with a hydration pack.

If my understanding is correct, the CF is better off buying its vest from Army Issue.
