The O2 %age is bit high (1.46 on the bottom).
Both tables seem a bit long.
The IANTD ones are probably longer because they have to cater for the =
worst
case
(overweight, unfit dehydrated etc diver). Also, why use O2 at 3m? 6m is =
much
better.

Decoplan, with an instant descent (so a real 25 bottom time), with GFLo =
of
30%
and GFHi of 100% gives:

  1m @ 15m (on 19/28)
  1m @ 12m (on 19/28)
  2m @  9m (on 19/28)
  5m @  6m (on 100%)

Using a 50% mix for deco gives:

  1m @  21m (on 50%)
  1m @  18m (on 50%)
  1m @  15m  (on 50%)
  1m @  12m  (on 50%)
  1m @   9m  (on 50%)
  5m @  6m  (on 50%)

Spending a bit more time at 21m ( to take advantage of the Oxygen
Window) gives:

  5m @  21m (on 50%)
  1m @  18m (on 50%)
  1m @  15m  (on 50%)
  1m @  12m  (on 50%)
  1m @   9m  (on 50%)
  2m @  6m  (on 50%)

(Use these at your own risk. I just ran some numbers through the =
program).

Given the choice between the Abyss and the IANTD tables, I'd go for the
Abyss one.
Given a real choice, I'd use the last set of Decoplan tables.
