You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I'm just commenting on what I see at the local lakes and German Ebay. 300 bar Steel tanks and divers don't often stay married to each other for a long time.

May want to get checked for a STD.
Do you dive wet or dry?
In drysuit country, I prefer something around what the 'murricans call a 100. 10x300, 12x232 or 15x200. With my gas consumption, they are a nice balance between min gas and NDL (I usually hit min gas around the time I have to head up to shallower waters). Some folks are hoovers, using a lot of gas (not that there's anything wrong with that, you use the gas you use), and they might prefer something with a higher capacity like a 12x300, a D7x300 or a D8.5x232.
When I'm diving wet on vacation (typically a 5 mil one-piece), I'm usually good with a 12x200.
Usually the 300 Bar tanks in sizes larger than 3L don't stay with their buyers very long.
The weight of a 300Bar tank is just unreasonable, even if diving dry in cold water a double 12 300 bar is a lot heavier than you need. A lighter weight double 12L 232Bar is still something that can be dived with minimal lead weight and a drysuit.
232 Bar tanks are normally filled to the point where the compressor OP Valve releases which for 232Bar fills is 260Bar. Carrying an extra 10 kilos of tanks for 40bar more gas is not good for your back.
