The "no pockets" IMO is a good thing. Pockets on a BC are usually not in a very usable place anyhow.

As for negatives, it's not near as comfortable out of the water. My 3rd dive on my BP/W was a shore dive with a fairly long hike. I thought I was going to die... Another guy was on his 1st dive with his BP/W and had the same problem. Just not as much weight distribution on the shoulders. Shoulder pads can (mostly) take care of this.

As previously stated there's the head hitting the first stage issue. However, there are a number of ways to take care of that.
