Bruce,
         A few people have used them with limited success. A couple of problems 
spring to mind

(1) They have no proper handwheel and a key is required to shut them off.

(2) To use a conventional reg you need a scuba to pin index adaptor, and the 
flat sealing washer used on pin-index systems is not the best regulator to 
cylinder interface.

Keep it simple - if you need a pony cylinder then use a pony cylinder.

Regards

Chris
