Bob. I've never used an elastic form of the cummerbund thought I know some of the ladies use this type. It would be nice to hear their opinions on the advantage or otherwise of using this form of brace. I have it on good authority that Dame Joan Sutherland's back brace included a certain degree of this vocal bracing.
Not that it involves we guys but she, <along with some other ladies> also use a strapless bra stiffened with bone but including elastic back panels to avoid the stoop that support can bring.
So far I have found that when I connect with the un-yielding belt my tone is very steady and my dynamics very controlled and exciting. Good luck. Reg.
:) Hey my spell checker wanted me to substitute Superman for Sutherland!
