I promised a few individuals to post the answers to why the 104's are preferred
once I had them compiled.   Here is what I have received so far:

     1.  Are beefier tanks and can take more abuse (as in overfills to 3500).
     2.  Balance better as the longer tank does not focus so much weight near
the head which tends to reduce head down posture.
     3.  Greater volume for deep diving (the 95's are a bit lean for this
purpose) without getting inordinately larger in the 121's.
     4.  Better weighting underwater.
     5.  Are a more comfortable length for sitting down on the ground or in
shallow water without being pulled over
           backwards.  95s are too short and the 120s too long for this purpose.
     6.  It's what the experts (WKPP, SCRET, BSTD) so there must be a good
reason.

If any one has any additional reasons or clarifications please post them as
appropriate.

Thanks,
Tod
