I dive Luxfer AL80s and AL100s. The former were cheap, and the latter are borrowed.
I've found it best for me to just ignore the 1.3 pound empty buoyancy difference. Why? Well, I'm trimmed left/right just how I like myself to be, which leaves me with one three-pound weight on my right hip. If I were to take half that away, I'd either end up listing to the left, or I'd have to change my gear placement. Staying in trim is worth managing 0.02 cubic feet of additional air.
