Rob, thanks for this info. The bottom time may just be better spatial
senses. We do not notice it because we are usually so busy with
something or have known times it takes to get someplace.

The feeling better after the dive is a major advantage for us also.

The deco is indeed much shorter for us as well.

The ear thing I am not familiar with. Better ask Bill Mee . I never get
any ear effects anyway. 

We pretty much use helium for everything now. The no-damage thing is a
big priority with me, JJ , Bill, Chirs, John and all the others who are
either competing or just working out constantly.
