Now here's something useful that one of the techie magazines could do. 
Measure and publish the actual weights, buoyancy and capacity of all the
tanks out there (at least the common ones) as well as the weight and
buoyancy of the commonly used manifolds and valves.  In the same
article, also dig out all the other tanks questions I hear posted here
from time to time.  e.g., are the new 104s the same as the old 104s, is
the Faber-made ScubaPro 95 the same as the Faber-made OMS 98 etc. etc.
