I have been going crazy trying to decide between 2 of Pressed Steel's tanks...the E8-130 and the E7-120 (the old LP104 and HP120). I would really appreciate your help!!
I am 6'3" and looking to use them as singles to start and doubles in the future.
While I generally dive dry, I would like to be able to use them with a 3mm drysuit (singles) on rare occasions. My diving tends to be pretty equally spread out between fresh and salt water....my passion is wreck diving when I can.
Are the 130s too heavy to swim up full as singles in a 3mm?
Any experience with trim differences between the two?
Do the 130s "feel" much heavier than the 120s when climbing into boats are walking short distances for shore dives?
Why would one prefer the 130s over the 120s other than the 130's additional weight (thus less lead on weight belt).
Thank you...I greatly appreciate any and all help!!
