False economy. You can find used back mount gear cheap.......but where are the savings once you realize that you will be better off using side mount and you want to buy ANOTHER set up? Granted some still use back mount but many hardcore " I'll never dive sidemount" divers are finally changing over. Why because it is a more versatile, balanced system that has the added benefit of being a lot easier on the Ol back.
