Our local dive shops think Trimix is Voodoo Gas so I can't get it around here. If I had my own compressor, I would be homebrewing. They won't do top offs on PP fills either. My Trimix dives have been with my instructor: 21/35.
 
The majority of my trimix dives are on 20/30, with many dives after a top-off that gives me 20/15 or 20/20.

Don't see any point in a mix that has in excess of 23% O2.

Have only had a handfull of fills of 17/50 or 18/30.

Why dont you blend your own and top it off from an air tank filled at your LDS.
The biggest problem is you will need a bigger & higher pressure air tank to top it off from. , but if you can find some one who does "cave fills" that shouldnt be a problem.

Lets see , a nice 100 foot or even a few more dive , being less narked , longer NDL , faster off gassing , other than the price , why wouldnt you want that ???

Better yet. Find a shop that isn't run by tank monkeys.
