I can't speak to that unit, but I use LP27 for onboard o2 and dil on my optima.
It's extra gas without any extra real bulk. The unit is basically the same size either way, though it does make the unit a tiny bit taller, that's fine, it's still shorter than doubles.
The advantage is:
-More dives between fills
-Less need to be precise about the filled pressure, just check on a button gauge ahead of the dive and go
-More gas is always better in an emergency. Onboard dil is just inflation gas, but I can plumb either one into the loop or into a second stage for a bailout.
-For open water rec diving where I don't want to haul the big steel bailout tanks, I can more comfortably dive with smaller cylinders like al40's or al80's and use the onboard tank for dil too, so no switching the QC6 in saltwater.
I sold my al19's and bought another pair of the LP27's to have two of those instead. If I was traveling and needed to use an al19 again, no problem, the unit adapts to either tank without any tools (if you are ok with it being 2" taller than it really needs to be).
