I agree with Bob. Keep the steel 72s and buy the AL80s. Give your wife the 72s and dive the 80s yourself. Your dive time will probably equal out since she will use less air than you. With each of you having two tanks, you can get in two tank dives even when there is no air fill station available.

Those steel tanks are Healthways tanks and, yes, they were made by Norris. I have some and I like them a lot.
 
Thanks everyone. After reading, I'm doing a facepalm for even debating this. I think I'll do as Bob and Paladin said. Not sure why I was so concerned about choosing. extra $70 for 2 steel tanks in the midst of $5000 spending(in the process of getting everything including the lights, smb, etc... for additional classes) seems really reasonable. Thanks everyone.
