Rich,

Do you have any concerns of the ease (or lack thereof) of disconnecting the 
pony from your main cylinder if it gets fouled in anything?  I used to use 
pony tamers but started to worry about that.

It seems that many here recommend attaching it similar to stage bottles.  
What do you think about that?

Thanks.
