Since you are also wingsuiting now, don't forget to ask for the Birdman mods when you order your new container

I think I'd get a 2k3 over an elite especially if you FF. as for the colors, I like all black or the closest to it - but that is just me.

The biggest hassle with packing Racers is that old tools are not Cypres-compatible.
I struggled - for many years - with steel T-bodkins, but discarded them as soon as a German rigger told me about ghost loops (more than a decade ago). Now ghost loops are available free from Jump Shack.
Ghost loops are temporary loops, inserted by the ripcord pins early in the pack job. You close the flaps the same way you would close a Javelin or Vector, and only late in the process do you change techniques to use the ghost loops to suck the (final) closing loops through the pack job.
The bottom line is: if you use ghost loops, Racers are easy to pack.
Steel t-bodkins - which are not Cypres-compatible - belong in the dumpster!

Oh and it is not free fly friendly or very safe for CRW

According to your logic, we should not use semi-Pop-Tops for CreW either.
When Pop-Tops are packed sloppily, it is easy to snag some else's suspension lines under your reserve pilot chute.
That excludes: Advance, Concept, Conquest, Dolphin, Genesis, Javelin, Vortex and Wings.
Well i've already said my piece about the pro/cons i voted for number 3. Number 5 looks pretty cool with the large hammer but without knowing how big a poptop you want I don't know how it would turn out. I'm supposing you colored those in but are looking at ordering a 2K3???
My suggestions would be this:
Cordoura body w/ parapack backpad and inside of legstraps.
Double thick leg pads!!!
All in all $30 dollars in extras for a little bit of comfort is not a bad deal!!!
