Worthington vs. faber lp85

[FW]

Does the term "tank envy" apply here

Worthington LP85s would be a better solution than PST 80s if you're looking for something a little heavier. They also hold a lot more gas than HP80s.

They are talking about the PST LP80. Giselle had a set, but we sold them when she found some 95s. Now that she is SM, we are questioning that decision.

Regardless, if PST had made LP85, they would have trimmed out similar to the Worthingtons anyways, since they are made using the same process which results in a thicker tank butt.

I like heavier tanks due to diving almost exclusively dry. So would PST 80s be a better solution than faber or worthington LP85s? Anybody use these tanks and notice a difference as far as bouyancy, trim, etc.?

PST LP-80s are very negative compared to Fabers. I can dive a single with a 3mm full suit and no weight (in salt water). They are also much more abrasion-resistant compared to Fabers, which is why my instructor harped and harped about how hot-dilled galvanized cylinders are better in caves than zinc-sprayed.

From earlier posts, he is talking about LP-80s, which hold about 95% of what LP-85s hold.

As they can be used as a deco snack?

Sorry. It made me laugh so had to highlight. I'll go back to creeping around in the background.

Okay, I'm typing in a dark room, okay?

I'm slowly moving in the direction of SM and I've got both PST 104's and PST 80's. From a SM perspective, how difficult would it be to trim out when switching between them?

You should not have much trouble switching between them. I was going between my PST 104s and some PST MP95 (weird tanks), without any changes in trim. I traded the MP95s in for some Worthington LP85, and don't expect difficulty with trim. I have not yet had a chance to dive the 85s.

All you old people and your 2500 tanks...I only have 20 and even doing my own VIP/cleaning it costs too much

I couldn't help it. I immediately pictured green pickle colored tanks.

Actually gave me a chuckle.

I'm feeling inadequate - I only have 19 tanks, and half of them are Tracy's.
