I am getting ready to buy a new set of low pressure tanks.  I was
considering the Pressed Steel galvanized 104s or 120s. I also know that OMS
sells steel LP 120s.  Does anyone have any good reasons for preferring one
brand over the other?  Also what are the pros and cons of the 120s over the
104s?  Obviously the 120s are bigger and heavier, but hold more gas.  These
tanks will be used for deep cave and wreck diving. For deep or long dives,
more gas is better but are their any significant cons to the 120s?

Also, on a related topic,  I have read on the list that divers have had
problems with their high pressure galvanized Genesis tanks rusting.  Since
these new galvanized low pressure tanks are made by Pressed Steel, wouldn't
it follow that the new low pressure tanks will suffer from the same
problem?  Thanks in advance.
