A friend of mine who owns a dive operation in Cozumel just bought two dozen LP 95 and 120's. I saw them when I was there two weeks ago and they looked like really good well made tanks. They were clean for 40 percent nitrox and had the green handwheels on all the valves. He will be using them just for Nitrox and diving nothing but salt water. It will be interesting to see how they hold up compared to the 30 plus Pressed Steel tanks that he has had for a number of years.
He ordered his tanks from XS Scuba. Even thought they cut him a deal for buying in bulk by the time they cleared customs and he paid all the freight he had quite a bit of an investment.

Are they at all different from Fabers?

My doubles are Worthington LP 95's the only difference I see is height the Worthingtons are about a ½" shorter than the fabers. xsscuba has the dimension charts on both the LP and HP tanks.

I just got a pair of Worthington 85's, and I caught holy hell from the wife unit. What is it about owning huge amounts of scuba tanks that women do not grasp? So maybe I don't take 10 tanks on every dive, but it's nice to have lots of contingency gas.
She's an instructor also, although from a different agency. Oh well, it could be worse...I guess.
For what it's worth - the Worthington 85's also look to be about 1/2" shorter than my Faber 85's. Sweet tanks!

here's a link to the specification chart,
http://www.xsscuba.com/tank_steel_specs.html
The 95's are 23.7 inches tall while my Al 80's are about 26" without a valve.

The 95 is shorter but wider. And heavier.

so then it makes sence to get a worthington95 rather than an 85. doesnt seem to be a big difference from AL80 and all that extra air is worth it for me.
A set of 85s would be significantly lighter than a set of 95s (~ 10 lbs I think). I know a few people with double 85s who love them.
That being said, if you're looking for a singles tank, and you want steel, you should really hunt down the PST E7-100 unless you get a really good deal on something like an LP95 and it's OK to have an inferior singles tank.
Or you can wait for the Worthington X7-100 which should be just as good, according to the specs..
