I did check with the place we get our O2 from yesterday when picking 
up a bottle. They said the only difference between Aviators grade and 
Medical grade from their place is that they will randomly check a 
bottle of Medical grade from a batch for moisture, medical grade 
costs more, and you need a prescription for medical. Both Aviators 
and Medical get filled from the same storage tank and both medical 
and aviators bottles get evacuated before the fill at this place.

Now the only question in my mind is how the hell do they hydro that 
50' storage tank of O2 they keep there :-)
