Though do keep in mind that by continuous mixing you are spared the most mickey mouse and dangerous aspects of handling O2, in that you are taking the O2 out of a genuine official designed-and-built-for 100% O2 tank, and running it through a DABF 100% regulator attached to that tank, after which the pressure is so reduced as to present very little danger. Unlike PP mixing where you have a whole chain of possible troublespots.
Once the O2 reaches the mixer, the dangers (compressor combustion, carbon build up) are identical for continuous and membrane. Personally I would rather lug a tank of O2 and a compressor, than a whole membrane setup, and rather operate it on shipboard as well, just on the KISS principle.

The bottomline is: especially for portability usage - the safety of not having to deal with highly explosive/volitale 100% O2 while on a moving boat. Membrane is the better system that is idiot/mistake proof.
