its time for a new bc to be used exclusively for doubles; I have been using
the seatec in one form or another for the last 10 years, and the diverite
the two years before that.

Any comments on which size to get?  the current choices seem to be #45 and
#65 pounds of lift.  The seatec worked well, but was marginal on lift; I
don't want to go any lighter and would prefer an extra #5 or so lbs. lift.
The default is the #65 model, but if I could get away with the 45 I would
prefer that.

Any idea what the lift capacity is on the seatec?  this is for comparison
purposes.

Comments on why I should or shouldn't go with the 45?

Any personal preferences are welcome, but this is a question of LIFT, not
brand.  The 45 would seem to be enough, but I don't want to buy it and find
it wont work.

as far as equipment; I dive with RENTED doubles, so they are either steel or
aluminum, random brands, etc.  dependent upon who has what when I show up to
dive (in Fla. or Mexico; cant fly doubles very well from California).  The
seatec seemed to work well on everything up to steel 104s and a single stage
bottle, but it was FULL with that setup and had NO margin.

My leaning now is to get the 65 and forget about it.......

thanks.
