Reputable manufacturers deliver the lift they specify. If they have the CE label, it has to be within a specified tolerance, IIRC, 10%.DIR Tec Diver once bubbled...
It is so true that the lift capacities don't usually match up, and the specs put out by the tank manufacturers are even less accurate, so unfortunately you will have to look at each bc and tank individually.

Does anyone know if there is some kind of table or reference that shows the max weight load against the lift capacity of a wing? For example, whats the max weight a 45lb or 55lb bladder can handle?
