I currently dive double 130s but find them rather negative and bulky. I have a hard time trimming out in 85s but want to see what most people dive.

I currently dive double 130s but find them rather negative and bulky. I have a hard time trimming out in 85s but want to see what most people dive.
Which 85s do you have? There is night and day difference how Faber 85s and Worthington 85s trim on same person. I like(d) my Worthington 85s for doubles, and Faber HP100s were OK. Faber 95s were about the largest I was able to carry but they go very butt-light already around ~1700/1600 PSI.
The brand does matter a lot, unless you are one of those people who can trim with fridge by just deciding so.
