I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the tanks section.
I'm looking at picking up a new tank and after reading here I think I've settled on a steel HP100. I know the cost is much higher than an AL80 but what I've been reading seems to point out that they are well worth the money.
Here's the deal, I have less than 20 dives but there is no doubt that there will be many many more. I'm 6'2" 240lbs, I'll be mostly diving in and around the great lakes. Right now I'm using a 7mm wetsuit and maybe a drysuit later on but I'll see.
So the question is: outside of the cost is there a downside to a newbie with a HP100?
