I agree with litehedded.
When the crap hits the fan, diddydallying is NOT what you want to do.

You must be diving from a boat. Why not sling another 80? Weight, awkwardness walking, etc. Doubles work better, but for my diving double 80s is way overkill. I use doubles in the 40-50 cf area.Then why not just sling another 80? Or a 120? Or whatever kind of tank you use for a primary. It would have more use.
Sometimes less is more. There is no reason to use a 40 for recreational diving. I think we all know those guys who only relate to "size matters" are trying to make up for other shortcomings.

the issue would be there's no reason to start dicking around at half your depth for no reason. if you have real decompression concerns, maybe talk to me about a slow ascent from 20' when we're safely at a depth I can swim up from.If you had the gas, were on a 7ft long hose what would the issue be? I wouldn't care...and I wouldn't be stressed. All min deco is is just a slow 10ft (3m)/min ascent rate from half the max depth on a rec dive.
Its not worth doing extra (unneeded) ascent time and cutting it close with your gas. What's the point?
There' a difference between "practice" and real life when there is a real potential to get hurt.
You're talkin' about theory. I'm talking about application.
