XS and New Worthington Aluminum Cylinders

[FritzCat66]

I noticed Worthington's pending purchase of Hy-Mark and planned production of aluminum scuba cylinders.

Since XS Scuba currently distributes their steel scuba cylinders, I was wondering if XS plans to carry the pending new Worthington-branded aluminums as well? What's the official word from XS regarding this interesting new development in the scuba cylinder world?

Hellooooo... Any XS reps here that can comment on this? Some of us are wondering if/when we'll be able to purchase Worthington/Hy-Mark aluminum cylinders, as opposed to Catalina, who seems to be pretty much the only other vendor selling aluminums in any other size than 80cf nowadays. I hope/presume that Worthington/Hy-Mark will be making the full range (i.e. 6, 19, 30, 40, 80, and 100cf) of aluminum models?

XS has a variety of sizes of Worthington aluminum cylinders listed in their 2011 catalog, which is downloadable from their website

You will age like Rip Van Winkle if you wait for XS Scuba to respond.
