Time for a new harness

So i went out for a day of multi-pitch cragging out at whitesides in NC. I pulled into the lot before my partner and was doing a one over on my gear and noticed that the lower tie in point (the one that holds your leg loops) on my Arcteryx fancy shmancy R-320 harness was worn to the orange indicator thingy. I've only had it for two years and have put it through its paces.

So its time for a new harness. I mostly do multipitch gear routes but aid as well on occasion. If you have experience with any of these models i'd like to hear it.

I'm a skinny guy with very little padding. The R-320 has been comfy enough, but at long hanging or stance belays it still comes up short i feel. I used to have a BD Momentum i climbed in for six years but it left me with bruises after long days hanging.

Misty Mountain:
Cadillac & Titan

BD:
Chaos
Big Gun

Arcteryx - 360a. its even wider and maybe more comfy.

Edit:
Yates:
??? never seen these guys in a store on the East coast

Cheers
