Why don't you scrap the 120 or use it as you do now. Doubling those up makes you totally dependent on both two sets of wings and a lift bag. Better yet buy a insurance policy and name your best friend as beneficiarcy (sp) , Seroiusly get eithe 104's (Diverite) 121's+ OMS, Dive rite or others or 108's all of these have far better swimming characterics. If you have to use all the bouyancy to offset the tanks you are considering, not only is it a dangerous system but you will use up much more gas due to the drag from all the floation.
