Forgive me if this is clumsy and/or bad netiquette...It's my first mail!

If you're interested in ultimate lightness (and you're willing to pay for it) 
you might want to check out Interspiro. They have a range of composite (carbon 
fibre wound on a thermoplastic liner with epoxy coated glass fibre overlay) 
cylinders rated for 300 bar use. To my knowlege they're only available in 3.4 
and 6.7 litre volumes, so they're probably a bit small for a twinset but I
guess 
you could do the weight/cost sums and see if a triple/quad made sense. The 6.7 
litre Spirolite weighs approx 4.7kg.
 
You can reach Interspiro (my only connection is as an Aga FFM user) on:

UK     - TELFORD, SHROPSHIRE - 01952 582822
USA    - BRANFORD, CT        - 0203 481 38 99
SWEDEN - LIDINGO             - 08-636 51 00
 
Regards & safe diving
Paul
