roakey:You misunderstood. My Ts come in about 2400. When I put a new one in the cascade I can fill my AL40 to about 2000-2200. So I get about 26cf of O2. That's well over 30 min of deco at 20ft.
My point is, ask yourself if the time, effort, money and especially the risk is worth an absolutely chock full cylinder? Do you absolutely NEED a full O2 cylinder?

I understand what you are saying because the risks of pumping oxygen at higher pressure grow exponentially. Personally if I was going back to the old days where we would travel from back yard fill station to station,because cylinders only came filled at 2400psig,I would go back to using st72s or 46s. I've had too many dives where a buddy blew a deco regulator o-ring and I needed the extra gas for him,and saved him the regulator rebuild by having to do a regulator switch underwater. If I am using an al40 I am going to fill it to 3000psig,or do the unspeakable which is poor man's O2.
