What valve is that and why is half of it missing?
Did I miss the joke?
Pony bottle valve, Pro vs DIN?

No joke. Very compact,
Oh yeah I checked out those valves before but was worried about parts and shipping to Canada was pricey. Does look very compact though.
+1 for DIN and a Pro-valve. But keep the insert and keep it mostly screwed in. It is easy to hang the valve in transport and turn it into a paper weight (ask me how I know)

Diver's Den in Tobermory is one of the best equipped shops you'll ever deal with. I can assure you, filling DIN tanks is a non-issue. I won't say that most tanks up there are DIN, but certainly a very large percentage are, especially in the more "serious" divers (as opposed to the tourist divers that visit once a season).
DIN valves are superior in every way, and while DIN is arguably less critical on a pony/stage/deco bottle, if you have to buy a valve anyway, I suggest you get DIN or a convertible... I mean, why wouldn't you? There are absolutely no advantages to a yoke setup.
