NG,
the focus was on an all inclusive climbing kit at a good price, for a beginning climber. Not necessarily the MOST comfy or pricey rig.
Since you're more advanced now, why don't you get a more comfy harness? Eh? (oh no! I sound like TD!!)
I saw these in Buckingham's catalog and thought it sounded really niffty, I think I'll be getting one. Sounds like a good idea for those who say "my harness is cutting me in half"... as well as some suspender straps.
