I think it's all about having back up air source, an Octo or pony bottle. If you don't have a back up alt air source, you are asking for trouble. All my dive buddies and a lot of divers in my area use Pony bottles.
Little extra weight and some drag, so what. If you have a equipment failure you have something to fall back on and won't drown for the sake of saving yourself a few Oz of weight to haul around. The First rule of scuba is to "always breathe",the second "safety first". I don't understand why someone wouldn't take one more step to keep them selfs and their buddies out of harms way? Diving Fun! Death Bad!
