LakeScubaDiver:He said he'll be diving a dry suit...
So, what kind of dry suit, Trilaminate, Crussed Neoprene, or Neoprene? It is an important factor as well.

Answer to ALL your problems: HP Steel 130 CF!!!
Have you looked at worthington's tank specks. From what this shows, the LP tanks arn't more negatively bouyant, in fact they are less. Now that may not be true for the faber, I don't know about their characteristicsTheRedHead:If you are diving wet or dry. LP tanks are generally much more negatively bouyant than HPs.
BSea:I have a HP 120, and 2 LP85s. Unless I let the HP cool for at least 30 minutes then have it topped off, I get a light fill. Usually in the 3200 range. But with my 85's, I get them somewhat overfilled, so I always end up with at least a full tank. Usually a little more.

Just the buoyancy of HP got me to get HP tanks... and the lighter weight.
I have 100's, 117's and finally the lovely 133...I don't understand today, why anyone would buy LP's...unless they were really, really low cost.
