XS Scuba Worthington Tanks OR Bluesteel Faber Tanks?

[selwyndvr]

I'd love to hear opinions on which steel tanks you prefer and why... I'm specifically looking at the steel 100s specs, but would love to hear from those who use larger or smaller steel tanks that have a preference too. Looking at the specs, I've found the following to start:

• Worthingtons are slightly shorter and lighter
• Worthingtons come with a better valve. ?? (More info please)
• Worthington's finish could be better. ?? (more info)
• Bouyancy is similar but the Worthingtons are a little more negative than the Fabers
• Do the Faber's tend to be more expensive or less expensive than the Worthingtons?
• Anything else?

I Dive the worthington XS Scuba HP100 as singles and doubles and love them. For me they were the best tank as far as weight/Size/Air, the best bouyancy characteristics

Worthington's galvanized finish tips the scales in IMHO...

I have two HP100 Worthingtons, but the Fabers are better looking tanks.

Another vote for the worthington's. The 100's are the perfect tank in my dive world (a strange world, but they know me here).

I agree, hot dipped galvanized is timeless. Nothing will stand up to use the way it will. That's a big plus for Worthington.
