on thing worth mentioning here on the large volume of these tanks, is that things change alot when diving rule of thirds or any other reserve plan. Those double 130's seem like alot of gas at 260 cu ft. but at thirds it's about 86 cu ft to use going one way, add some depth to that and it really goes pretty quick.

Those AGA tanks are still very popular here...2x4 liters @ 300bar (80cft for the metricly challenged) make for very stable diving. The perfect set of doubles for rec diving!
They don´t make ´em anymore so all the used ones get snapped up as soon as an advert is put up...never heard of any problems with rust though...
