    Having a set of both, the in water characteristics are very close. Many have said that the Worthingtons were heavier, but I have not noticed this (and you would think that with my back and hip ailments I would be more sensitive to weight issues.) The OMS Fabers area noticably longer and a bit smaller in diameter. The Worthingtons make fantastic SM tanks, but I have not tried them as doubles. Overall, I like the W's as much as the F's, and at that price I wish I had the cash to grab a few myself.

    Norm, these have really pretty shiny valves, with a little tube coming out of the bottom, a real thick macho looking o ring around the middle (that reminds me of a thin cummerbund), and a soft yet firm black rubber twistey handle that really sets off the color of the tank.
    Does that help?

    Yes, but do they clash with my fancy DIR backplate?

    I thought about telling him they had scuba valves on them, but I like your answer better.
