All are junk compared to the Faber and Heiser cylinders from Europe.
I've done hydros on all of them, and the quality of manufacture and superiority of the metallurgy is unmatched.
Also, with the Heisers, you can drop half the weight off your weightbelt.
As you know Frank, I dive a low pressure steel 160. Why wear the weight in lead around your waist with a weightbelt when you can wear the weight in steel and have have up to twice the gas !
Anyone wearing more than 20 pounds of lead needs to rethink their over all dive configuration.
