    I need / want bigger stage bottles than the 63's would give me.
    I couldn't get Rob's method to work, must have been doing something wrong.
    I was thinking the same thing. Since they are shorter than 80's there is less butt to stick up in the air which should help reduce drag and make swimming a lot easier. I have nothing to lose by trying them. If they work great, if not I'll get an 80 but I'm really hoping they work.

    Don't forget that Gas Matching applies to stages as well as back/side gas.

    Dive Gear Express has the DR RG3s on-sale brand new for $199. It's often difficult to price used regs where it makes sense.
