Kelphead,

Many of your lp vs hp arguments are yoke vs din arguments.
You can easily put a din valve on an lp tank (though you shouldn't
put a yoke valve on an hp tank) so these are not really valid for the lp
vs hp debate. The arguments about full tanks on boats and size/weight are
good though.

I also want to add that many people claim to like the size/weight of lp steel
tanks better than that of hp steel tanks, and many people "overfill" them
because apparently US DOT ratings are much more conservative than the same
ratings for the exact same tanks overseas (or so I've been told anyway).
