Hmmmmm.. possible solutions ( btw I think you can get metric M25 too)
a/ I've been told that the new modular valve from MDE does the same - c #100-120
    for a twin tank manifold system.
b/ importing tanks wouldn't be expensive if a friend just took them as luggage 
   (remove valves - the airline are ok about this) and buy the Sherwood.
Good luck
Brian
