    Well as usual,no help from the "pros"

    Looking at your cave certification, im sure your already used to the 
benefits of manifolded doubles, and with the travel issue, id suggest that 
you rig a safety bottle(pony) as a stage and wear it on your left side. A 
backplate and harness would be ideal, but most of the "tech" b/c's will offer 
the attachments that you need. Anyway you look at it ,back mounting it sucks, 
been there done that.
    I think the steel tank is going to prove to a bit of a pain anyway you 
chose to mount it.Weve staged 30's,40's,and 80's,all alum.,and they carry 
well during the dive. The steel wont have the bouancy that is needed to hold 
the tank to your body during the dive.
