I already posted this on TDS but thought I would mention it here as well.
According to this webpage, Luxfer is now back in the scuba business, with a few slight changes. XS Scuba is now the only distributor for the United States, and Luxfer is only making four cylinders (actually three different sizes, the Al80s will be available in two different finishes):
The paragraph right under that is what really interests me, especially the first part:
It sounds as if they are making sure we know that the cylinders will be (or should be, at least) exactly the same as the ones that were made previously. This is great -- same buoyancy and weight characteristics for stage/deco cylinders.

Luxfer cylinders are available in the following limited sizes & finishes:
LAL40BNC Aluminum 40 cu ft with Brushed Finish
LAL80BNC Aluminum 80 cu ft with Brushed Finish
LAL80NF Aluminum 80 cu ft with Natural Finish
LALW106 Aluminum Composite Limited 106 cu ft with White Finish
The paragraph right under that is what really interests me, especially the first part:
The original tooling is being used to maintain the same specifications, buoyancy and weight distribution.
