Here is the link to a new dive shop that opened in south florida. I met this owners this weekend and they are super nice. I haven't got a fill from them yet, but friends of mine have and loved them!

Filled to max stamped pressure, eh?
Too bad!

Will you fill my cylinder to more than its rated maximum pressure?
Fill Express does not overfill any aluminum cylinder. Overfilling shortens cylinder life, as well as increases risk of cylinder failure. Increased pressures also can cause burst disks, O-rings, and 1st stage regulator seats to unexpectedly fail prematurely. Willing to accept these risks in exchange for the increased gas volume, technical divers sometimes overfill their meticulously maintained steel cylinders. Upon request, Fill Express overfills those privately owned modern chrome molybdenum steel cylinders that we find to be in excellent condition. We will fill a low-pressure (2640 psi) cylinder up to 3000 psi if it has a yoke valve and up to 3500 psi if it has a DIN valve. We will fill a high-pressure (3500 psi) cylinder with a 300-Bar DIN valve up to 4000 psi. Fill Express may refuse to overfill a cylinder for any reason; the final decision rests solely upon the fill station operator.
 
My mistake.
Thanks for pointing that out. Now there is a shop where we can get partial fills anyway:D
 
I also met one of the people involved in this (Mark). I think we'll be able to get the fills we want.
