Well it seems there are 2 schools of thought here, 1 from the people that have had their own compressor/fill their own tanks and 1 from the people that either own their own a LDS or have a vested interest in one (instructors, employees etc.) It seems that if you make money from filling tanks or you get your tanks filled for free that it is just stupid for a rec diver to have their own compressor no matter what the cost per fill. ($20 per fill give me a break! I'll bet there is no competition anywhere near that shop.) I put more weight behind the few opinions of people that actually are currently using a compressor for personal use that have put up real numbers and research to back it up.
I think if next season I can find a shop close enough that offers reasonble fill cards I will go that route but if not I will take my 100 or more fills per year right into my own garage. And maybe even get more dives in because of it.
