I used to own a Genesis 120.  If you are any less than six feet tall, you 
will probably have a hard time carrying it with your arm fully extended.  
Is is comfortable underwater, and is just slightly negativly 
bouyent.  The new Beuchat high capacity tanks are incredibly negative and 
therefore are for cold water diving only.

I traded the tank for a Genesis 100 which I find much more comfortable to 
handle.  I find that the 100 can get me into as much decompression as I 
feel comfortable with without redundant equipment.  For deep dives, I use 
double 100's with double regulators for extra gas and redundancy.  I find
find the double 100's more comfortable than the single 120.
