Everyone has spoken about the steel advantages already and I echo them. I will offer my comment. I know a lot (mega lot) of folks who have switched from AL to steel. I do not know of anyone who has switched from steel to AL.
Steel HP 100 gets my vote hands down
Sorry for such a newbie question, but I have never dove with steel tanks before, and I have the opportunity to buy a Hp steel 100 for $200. I have several Al80's, is it worth it to purchase this tank?
I understand the weight advantages, but what would my air advantages be? Will I see a big difference in available air? Will I be able to stay down much longer with a steel Hp100? If so, what percentage more do you think?
Again sorry for the simple questions, just want to see if it's worth getting the tank.
