Carlos,

What you want to do is have a wing for double tank diving and one for single
tank. No wing in the world is going to be perfect for both situations and
you will realize the huge difference in comfort if you have the right wing
for the right job.
For double 80's Halcyon has the 38pound bladder, for singles you are most
probably fine with a 18 or 27 pound. Not only is there a difference in lift
but the shape also differs dramatically.

If you have any specific questions let me know.

Regards,

THOMAS
