While reading this and after I started my purchase of equipment, I was wondering what size of deco bottle might I need for my size. DFS states an al40/80 and Luxfer for their buoyancy. I know right now I don't NEED a deco bottle, but I figured if I happen up on a good deal, I should go ahead and get it and then set it to the side for now. I'm 6' 6" and 320lbs currently. An al80 lasts me about 25 - 30 minutes (it's increased alot.) and I really doesn't fore see having to do a deco anytime soon that will be longer than that if ever in the next few years. (Maybe I'll look tech, but only be rec. 
)
I purchased a LCD 30# wing and the way I was explained to figure out what wing I needed, an al40/80 will still be under the 30# lift. I will also be purchasing the long pattern SS back plate and the hog harness. I've been buying a few small things like reels, smb, ss clips and other misc stuff. My next purchase after this bank account clean out, will be a new first and second stage setup with the proper length hoses. (Ohh and I might have a good deal going on a brass SPG.) Once I replenish my small bank account, I'll look to purchase my back up lights. I can't nearly afford a canister light, unless of course someone has an old spare they want to get rid of cheap. (and it still works.)
Back to the reason for this post, what recommendations do all of you suggest for a deco bottle for my size? (Please don't post that you don't need it right now. (I know that already.) Read above again.)
(Reading over this again, I might have answered my own question, but I'll post anyways. It will depend on how long my deco stops need to be. If an al40 will last 20 minutes and my deco is only 15, I should be good to go with an al40. Right?)
Thanks as always,
Michael
