 Sean, you are not talking apples and apples here, you are talking dumb and 
dumber. Obviously the OMS manifld is a horendous piece of shit, so that is out 
of the question. Rusting of Faber vs Presed Steel is also not in play. That 
leaves us with the only question, which is what buoyancy characteristic do you 
want. The Fabers make great oxyegn bottles, the pressed steels are for diving. 
If you are cave diving, you need 104's, but I am assuming that you wer not 
asking this, since the thread is on techdiver. - G
