The 12l 300b tank weights 17.4kg and the 232b Tank 14kg. In the water that's about 3kg difference. Do you pay 60€ for 3kg weight which you cannot place where you like it?
Handling on land you have always to move 3.4kg more.

Depending on its buoyancy characteristics, suited you may not weigh more on land if you drop more lead than the 3kg difference, I have some tanks that act like that.

the 2250's and 2400's are built to the 3aa standard so are eligible for the + rating.

The 3180 Faber tanks are also made to 3aa standard and are eligible for a + rating.

In the US we normally don't quote tank fill pressure in bar. Our tanks are marked in PSI. I don't know where the standard fill pressure of steel tanks came from. We have 2250, 2400 + 10% overfill, 3442 and 3500.
I know yeah. Thanks
