Conversely - the big rig is easy to make neutral, as compared to a metal housing for a compact with two strobes.

I guess that depends on how close to neutral you want to be.   I bought my RX100 rig in 2015 with dual YS-D1 strobes.  I put two pair of STIX floats on the arms (recommended by Bluewater Photo) and I was good to go.

When I got my D810 rig, I moved the strobes to that rig.   Never changed the floats, even for the 230mm dome port.    Same with the D850 rig.  Still running the same floats.

My DSLR rigs are a bit negative in buoyancy.   Probably helps trim me out when diving as I have heavy Apollo Biofins on the other end.
