I can see having a special fitting for Argon tanks/regulators (why not just use
the CGA fitting and adapt a regulator), becuase you would never (probably) want
to breathe argon....BUT...I would NEVER bother to spend extra $$ to buy special
fittings for Nitrox, Oxygen, or Mixed Gas.  I want my regulators to be
instantly interchangeable, because everyone knows that equipment must be
replaced and re-configured before different dives, depending on what you want
to do.

I guess I feel that if you aren't intelligent enough to get an O2 analyzer,
analyze your gasses, and perhaps even mark your tanks with contents stickers or
tags, I probably would be caught dead diving with you.  All this talk about
special fittings for Nitrox use makes me think there are an awful lot of people
diving around out there who have no common sense whatsoever.   It's precisely
these people who require stickers such as "CAUTION, COFFEE IS EXTREMELY HOT" to
be placed on every drive up window in the country.
