It is kind of a pain, but it does work and on some dives the benifits of the 72s do outweigh the slight inconvenience of moving the clips. Someone I dive with pretty regularly does the same thing with his faber lp 85s and it works quite nicely. After he switches them to the waist D-rings, they trim out just as well as they did at the start of the dive.
    I am used to doing that with AL80's so it would be nothing new if I go with Fabers. I am trying to decide on which steel tanks to buy now. Heck, I may just stick with AL80's for shorter/shallow dives since I am already quite used to them.

    It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.

    Doesn't work with Faber 85s. Because they are rolling and not floating like AL80s, they end up hanging below you if you reclip them. I've tried it.
