This is a complete load of...well, "disinformation." Atmospheric air is 79% N2 fer cryin' out loud. I did not look up the CGA valve spec for inert gas vs. air, but the valves are not that expensive if you bother to change them. (I would change them if they weren't the same, but that's me.) If you want them to be "the right color for air," buy a can of spray paint. Blue, IIRC.
Tanks are tanks and N2 is harmless, and does not dissolve in steel to any significant degree. It will not somehow contaminate breathing gas afterward. Buy the N2 tanks. Inspect them. Fill and empty them a couple times so the percentage of N2 inside drops near enough to atmospheric as makes no difference. Fill them again with suitable air, and then fill your tanks from them. If you need O2-clean air, clean them first or have them cleaned *no matter what they were used for previously*. (Actually that's not a bad idea in general.)
If you will pump them and your dive tanks full of air only, you need not analyze, either, except possibly the first time to assure yourself O2 levels are normal after the purging is done. If you will mix, on the other hand, you need to analyze without fail.
Then, go blow some bubbles.
