CIRAS Land vs. CIRAS Maritime

Okay guys, I need some help here. I've been looking at Eagle Industries' CIRAS, but I can't tell the difference between the Land and the Maritime, except maybe that the Land has fewer pieces of fabric on it, haha. If you guys could point out what I'm missing, I would be grateful.

Location of the quick release handle.

.... and that's it?

This could possibly decide whether or not I pick up a CIRAS, so I've got $500 riding on this.

The land has the cummerbund velcro in the front. The maritime has it on the sides.

The maritime has the release on the top, the land's release can be on either of the sides....

Due to the design of the maritime it is slimmer, but consequently cannot have pouches connect from front to one of the sides. If that makes sense.... The land is slightly more bulky but can have pouches run non stop all the way around the vest....

So out of the two, which do you recommend I buy?

For airsoft purposes, it doesn't really matter....

What is the most common AO for you?

That's the sort of environment I play in, if that's what you're asking... Sorry, allergies are throwing me for a loop at the moment.

I vote Land! Just seems nicer to me for some reason.

Could allow it to be a land/maritime hybrid. Might be the best option?

Cool, thanks for the link, Sno. I appreciate it!

@sticks
Another question for you: if the quick release "string" is pulled, will it render the rig useless, or will I be able to put it back together?
