As someone who is shopping for a couple of 72s to double up, I can tell you I am looking forward to using them for: 1. No stop profiles when I want to stay with my double regulator setup and not chance hurting someone on the boat (including me) with my big tanks. 2. Cold dives where 140cuft of gas is plenty to get me shivering and leave a prudent reserve. 3. Wreck penetration. 4. Shore dives with a signifigant walk. I can also see a scenario where a dive would be done breathing almost entirely on stage bottles and the back gas held in reserve, although I don't see myself on such a dive. I know 72s are pretty handy for boat scrubbing/repair, hang tanks, and dry O2 tanks. What are your uses?
