AL 40 "Luxfer is better than Catalina" Why is this said?

DO the same reasons work across the whole line of tanks?
 
divers i respect say it does for 40s and larger. i own luxfers for my deco and stages. but i have a 6cf catalina i use as an argon tank, at that size it works just as good as a luxfer.
 
I have Catalina 40's, and honestly I can't even feel them when they are there. I think the Luxfer's might be "better" than the Cat's, but the cat 40's are perfectly fine in my books. That said, I once tried slinging a Cat 80 in a local quarry, and it sucked, I found the Luxfer was much better at the 80cf size.

I have a matching set of Catalina 80's, that I'm now debating selling off and replacing, or doubling them up, since I rarely dive single tank, and definetly not with an al80, and I wont use them for stages.
