  Phil, we are not talking rec diving. I would personally opt for the aluminum 
80, but whatever. For cave or wreck diving they are useless. If you only need 
the gas of an al 80, then the hp steels are too heavy. If you are wearing a 
drysuit, the hp steel are too light, you need the pressed steel. If you have to 
add weight and need gas, go with faber, if you don't need the gas, but do need 
the weight, go withal 80 and weight between the tanks, or a weightbelt. The 
point is these tanks were not designed for special situations like you, they 
were designed to legally confiscate peoples' money - they cost a fortune, and 
when the first came out they were really expensive. - G
