Subject: Tanks-Why 104s?

I'm in the market for a set of doubles and checked the archives for 
recommendations. It looks clear that almost everyone is using PST 104s 
but I can't figure out why. What about OMS 98s or 112s?  

Here are the specs I have -- am I missing something or are these 
notoriously innaccurate buoyancy and weight specs just plain wrong:

                 cu. ft    Fill   Wt.  Bouyancy Full/E   liters
OMS	J-098G  	S	    98	     2640	  38	    -7.73 /  0	     15.45
OMS	J-112G	  S	   112	     2640	  41	    -8.00 / -1	     17.66

As far as I understand it, the PST 104s (can't find reliable specs) have 
about the same weight and buoyancy characteristics as the OMS112s for 
less capacity and are larger and heavier than the 98s for not much gain 
in air.  Before I regret buying a pair of 98s, I'd appreciate any help 
you can offer.
