I've tried LBO and the difference is not enough to compensate for what I don't like about the mod: darker water, more pronounced zebra striping, loss of surface transparancy. The wave height in the strongest storms are reduced so greatly, they no longer wash over the bow or cause the neat over-bow wave effect let alone wash over the deck or the bridge. This greatly reduces the rough water immersion factor. The bow pitch effect is also almost none. Since this affects all the other models. I also prefer to watch the merchants bounce around a little more.
Although the original boyancy model leaves something to be desired, I prefer the more pronouced dynamic environment. After all, I'm not in a 15m/sec storm all the time, nor am I forced to watch the sub in external view all the time.
