Curious -- anyone under 6' use an E7-120 or Faber 120? I'm 5'11", 26" AL80s are fine, just can't quite visualize what a 2.5" taller tank would be like.

I'm 5'8", and I use an E7-120, no problems. I set the bc strap about an inch lower on the tank, than an AL 80. So I have an extra inch on each of the tank. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
 
I recently bought a pair of Faber 120 HP steel tanks. I'm 5'10" and have not had any issues! I found the tanks well balanced and they did not even flip me over with POS jacket BC (I know, but my backplate and wings should be arriving next week, I too have joined the dark side) Coach Izzy
