Team bailout is a pain, but sometimes the only practical solution if the dives are deep and long.

What I was about to say. For a 4 hour dive, I cant carry enough BO tanks (nor want to.). Then team bailout is a requirement.
 
I have all al80s with the exception of a pair of steel lp85s that are jacked up to 3600 psi. These are 7" tanks, sit nice as sidemount and hold a ton of gas. I only use these for my 250+ dives.

They are heavier. The left side has 50% He and sits nice. The 50% O2 tank on my right has a different feel - but its not to much to manage.

Ive had to account for the weight of them and I spent a few dives practicing with the weight swing in the event I handed one of these tanks off. Its not to much to account for IMHO.
