So what is it that makes LP steel different than HP steel?  Is the steel
itself different, or is it the difference in stress?  Are you ultimately
going to have the same problems, just not as soon?

Part of the reason I'm asking is because I just went through some grief
with a 72 I bought for use as a deco bottle.  Nothing a good tumble
wouldn't cure, though.

I'd love to get into a set of double steel tanks (yeah, if only I could
afford more diving gear this season), but I keep having the nagging
feeling my twin 80's will still be going strong long after the steel
tanks die of old age.
