This really struck me for IF they are diving as a buddy team, why would one have N2 loading issues while the other has gas limitation issues? Shouldn't the N2 loading be the same for both buddies? OP -- can you explain how you get N2 loaded while your buddy doesn't?
Also, my belief is always "More gas is better.". IF both have the option for 100s, why not both dive them? What's the downside of someone have "more gas than they need?". And while I'm aware "some" frown upon the practice, IF the "sipper" has way too much gas, the "Hoover" can always "borrow a cup of air" from the sipper.
When we dive air, nitrogen is almost always the limiting factor for me whereas it seems that air remaining is always the limiting factor for him irregardless of the FiO2.
