Chest protector question

[Hock9]

I have a platinum which I really like, and I've taken some hard foul balls and haven't felt a thing. I also have an original wilson west vest, and it's pretty good but not quite as protective (and not nearly as well fitting) as the WVP. The difference (better) fit that I get from the platinum is that the front section is better formed to my torso, whereas the original has a large center piece (covers the breast bone) that is flat and doesn't conform as well. Just my personal experience.
