Are E7's still sold anywhere?

I only see X7's everywhere. All my 100's are X7's, and friggin' heavy (nothing wrong with that) compared to the E7-100's I've been borrowing lately and I have come to just LOVE (L-O-V-E) the E7 variety and loathe the X7's. But nobody sells them :( So I was wondering if they've been discontinued or can I still get them new?
 
The E series tanks were built by PST, the X series are built by Worthington. PST is out of business, at least as far as scuba tanks go. So unfortunately, you are outta luck if you want new E7's.
 
They're cylinders. I don't "love" or "hate" either (I have some PST doubles, some Worthington ones; hundreds of dives on them). Honestly, they dive *very* similarly.

They're different enough that I prefer/enjoy diving one over the other.


@Jimmer: I didn't realize they were PST's. It's really not a big deal, both sets are fine, I just like the E7's more. Thanks for the info.
