Alsdo,
The new Heiser steel carbon 10l are 9 kilogramm empty, price for doubles
with manifold was 1300,- DM what I saw.
Russian IDA has been using  small compound bottles as well ( Al/ SS /
Titan, do not know, they made garden tools of titan, though ( broke down
market for subs)
Old french Fenzy DC 55 had compound bottles.
For recent bottles the jury is still out, in terms of longevity in
marine/aquatic environments. 
Titanium bottles there are/ were, somewhere on this planet or outaspace.
If you find some for in a rebreatherable size, I would be happy to sell
these to the Navy.
regards
Matthias
