Used AL80: catalina or Luxfur

I found one of each of these tank, both manufactured in 2004, same price, same condition, which one is a better tank?

Both are good bottles. Luxfer is preferred for deco and stage bottles. But if you're strapping to to your back, both are good.

Look at the buoyancy characteristics, I'd go with which ever is more negative empty.

Is this the blue cat and yellow lux from the paintballing hubby?

I say get the Luxfer. If you advance to using a stage bottle, it's preferred. Even if you don't, it'll likely fetch a slightly higher resale price since people are often looking for stages.

I agree with this sound reasoning.

Yes, craigslist in Mountain View. Are you the owner of the tank?
