Looking at the Simpson Hybrid Sport further, that may dig into my back and be more painful than the HANS so that's a no-go for me. I do need a bit of recline to fit in the car comfortably with a helmet on.
The price difference between the two isn't particularly drastic. HANS III is around $500 and the Simpson Hybrid Sport is $600 plus $40 with the seat belt anchors.

I had the Hans (still do actually, I should sell it...) and have moved to the Hybrid Sport.
Being an instructor is part of this, as sometimes I'm in a car with 3 point belts, but when you go to AER for example... almost every single person is running the Hybrid.
The word on the street is that the Hybrid being attached to your body is a safety advantage if you're rolling around in an accident.
I also have the idontknowwhat rev2 which is like a Hans, just more comfortable
