My LDS has a deal going on some LP95's (I believe they're Worthingtons). $500 for a pair, less 10% for students and loyal customers, so $477 including sales tax. $238 each seems pretty good for new tanks. I've been renting Faber LP95s from the shop while I figured out my air consumption. Initially I had thought HP120s would be a good choice since I'm tall (6'3") and new, so I still suck air, though I do notice it's getting better (Last dive I was at 1200 left from a 2500 fill, with a max depth of around 60 feet and a bottom time of 30 minutes, according to my Gekko. Also had a 32 minute dive to a max of 86 feet and had about 400 left when I surfaced. And the 95s are way less than new HP120s would be (and the shop doesn have those in stock anyway, though they do have LP108s and HP100s). Should I pull the trigger on a pair of new LP95s and figure my air consumption will get to the point I should get nice longish dives on them, or wait to see if I can find some used 120s?
