Ive run MBSS's in the past. The APC is far superior in all ways. It is very lightweight for the PC and it fits tight to the body as it is very adjustable so you maintain really good flexibility and maneuverability.
Ive seen kits for PCs with cummberbunds used in order to run them without cummberbunds so it is possible. I don't know why you wouldn't use it though other than for looks. You can hold more stuff and it doesn't make you any less maneuverable or slower. I cant recall where Ive seen it but you can definitely rig something up.
As for setup, you saw mine APC in the other thread. Front loaded 6 mags with the MR&C triple insert and triple pouch, left side has First Spear speed reload pouch, FS banger pouch like you want and then miscellaneous farther back. Right side has an IFAK and another General Purpose pouch. My comms pouch would be mounted on the MR&C 24 Hour Assault Pack. Excellent pack and you can mount stuff on the sides if you want.
Its worth the money, it doesn't reduce your speed or maneuverability, and it looks good.
