I certainly am not arguing, but simply trying to understand. I very much appreciate everyones input.

If you aren't in "cave country", where are you going to dive that would require a cave fill, or a stage? I think carrying a stage and 85s may be more hassle than diving 104s. I have never used E-130s, but I understand they are pretty close to 104s.
