The Faber 100s are actually bigger than the worthington 100s. Both great tanks though, but if length is an issue, its something to keep in mind 
We have 2 worthing HP100s that are only 2months old for $269 with convertible valves...
We have 2 worthing HP100s that are only 2months old for $269 with convertible valves...My everyday boat diving tanks are the (slightly) older 3500 DIN only pressed steel 120's. Here in S Florida I do not need anything heavier under the water. I never have a problem getting a full fill. When diving with students I do both dives on the one tank.
Other favorites are 3300psi Catalina Al 90's and for beach diving regular 72's.
All these have pretty much the same buoyancy characteristics which means with my 5mm wetsuit and steel plate I don't need a weightbelt and am neutrally buoyant at the end of the dive with no air in the wing.

If you were close, I would take one of those off of your hands but I'm sure the shipping would be rough.

Only about $20 or less to you
Worthington LP 85s for me, singles or doubles. If I needed more gas I'd probably consider a stage before going to the 130s, as I'm not that big.
HP120's if they wouldn't fail hydro, the Catalina 3300 psi 90's otherwise

Heiser 140 with a hydro fill.

I've no issues with AL 80 when I'm on vacation down in Mexico or Hawaii.. But in New England I use the LP 120.. I've not seen the HP 130's yet, but I hear they hold a TON of air not to mention the added bonus of not having to add quite so much weight to my BC. With the AL 80's I have to add around 30 lbs of weight when I'm diving the back yard. it's just a lot of stress to put in those little pockets of my BC..
