I realize I am running the risk of being labelled an idiot (again), but I am wondering why everyone is waiting with bated breath for the E8s to come to Canada when the E7s have been available for months?
I bought a set of E7-120s a few months ago (it was a good fit, since I had been diving twinned AL80s before that, so my bands and manifold fit). I am very happy with them, other than in my cave course, where my buddies were diving LP104s and when we all got 3400 fills, I had WAY less gas.
Is it just a case of them fitting existing bands and manifolds, and being shaped and balanced similar to the 104s that many of you are diving? Or am I missing something?
I dont think the 10 extra cubic feet are worth waiting on the E8-130s for, and I like the lower profile of the narrower 7" tanks. I haven't found trim to be a problem, since all you have to do is find the balance point on the tank, regardless of length.
Please let me know what I am missing.
