12 Hours or 24 for full nitrogen off gasing?

Personally, a table with a 6 hour out makes me very nervous, mostly because I grew up with US Navy based tables with a 12 hour out, but also because a 6 hour out lets you do potentially stupid things like make 3 dives that day, knock off at 3 pm and come back out for a night dive at 9 pm and not have to consider it a "repetetive" dive.

Perhaps the PADI RDP 6 hour out would make you less nervous is you notice that it is NDL table only, and has additional restrictions and rules for the multiple long, shallow dives that would make a compartment slower than 60 minutes the controlling compartment. They apply for cases where you do more than 3 dives in a day, and you reach the higher pressure groups. The rules require extended surface intervals (3 hours minimum if Y or Z will be reached on ANY dive that day) that limit the average depth (including SI time) to about 23'.
