    I'm the same heigth as you just 15 lbs heavier, using my Nomad with LP125's and a 7 mil wetsuit I don't have any problems with trim or bouyancy but it is on the heavy side with a full fill.

    Yeah, they definitely swing to the barely negative side as they get low. It's always a good idea to get in the water with your tanks at like 500psi or less just to see. Because if something happens that you do get that low, the last thing you need is to be trying to scrape yourself off the ceiling.

    If you have to fin down to keep off the ceiling, the added gas consumption could be a problem as well.

    One trick I have seen people do (including myself), is use a steel 45 for O2, and if you do get light, it will help hold you down at deco.
