Based on what I've seen, as well as conversations with Morb, it really does boil down to preference. Morbius is doing all that he can to accommodate both tastes. I've tried both versions on and I would be satisfied with either version. I have owned a set of HSGI suspenders forever now, and while they've done their job well enough for me, I can say with complete confidence that these models meet those standards, and in some instances, exceed them.
Logically, if you carry a heavy 1st line set up, you might opt for the standard version; keeping this weight off the pelvic girdle is paramount. Alternatively, you may opt for the elastic version if you're running a lighter load and want greater mobility and flexibility around the trunk region, say a pistol and some pistol mags.
Again, it is about preference and preference alone. I'll be testing both models very soon on some upcoming games, and I'll offer as much honest feedback as humanly possible.
Anyone that knows me, knows I purchase gear that will last, and is high-speed / low-drag. These suspenders are no exception to that rule. The only possible exception here is the price. Once others trial this piece of kit, more assessments can be posted here if any doubt remains.
