I think this should be taken a step further. If you do any diving 
using gasses other than air, then *every* breathable tank (you can 
skip the argon tank) should be analyzed prior to *every* dive. 

If you can't afford the dedicated tanks with the 20', 70', 120' 
and 190' MOD mixes then maybe you shouldn't be doing the dives that 
require them. Doing this right requires some level of financial 
committment. The WKPP has some full time students that manage to 
afford to do it right. Anything else is BS excuses.
