Hi rescuediver009,
...by the way, I also own a single OMS/Faber 112...as well as a single PST HP E8-130 and PST HP E7-120. The E8-120 and OMS 112 are almost identical in dimension/weight......I've dove the PST E8-130 a few times in the lake.......and I'm diving the OMS 112 in the lake tomorrow for the 1st time ( it's been in the pool twice).
At this point I don't think I want to mess with the weight/bulk of either of those tanks doubled up.....the air capacity is very tempting, but I only weigh 140 lbs, so I have to draw the line somewhere.
There's a chance I might be interested in doubles in LP95's, or maybe the PST E7-120s, but I think that's my maximum limit.....I dove LP95's twinsets in my Advanced Nitrox/Deco Procedures class, kinda heavy, although I got used to them over the course of that weekend......but I found them too 'short' when it came time to do valve-drills. The PST E7-120's are a nice 'thin' 7.25" diameter, making a compact twinset......but their length is about at my maximum limit.....I've dove an E7-120 successfully at the lake, and with Liquid Blue Divers in Cozumel last Oct....so my main concern with them would be weight....they weigh in @ 47 lbs each full, not counting isolation manifold...with that they'd probably hit 100 lbs total.
If I had to bet money right now, I'll probably end up going with either another LP 85 OMS twinset, or maybe a PST E7-100 twinset.
