When you buy the tank you need or want, just make sure you buy it with a 200 BAR DIN valve.. it would come with the screw in adapter. At least all mine have

So, I will consider to buy 2 different bottles (13 shallow shore, and bigger then 13 for deeper boat dives)
But more weight and more complexity!
First, I want thank you all for excellent suggestions.
1. I am planning to use it up to 90feet depth NDL single tank dives and only for emergency bailout or looking for my buddy. But most of my dives is shallow shore dives (<70feet) and "dry" weight is consideration to me.

I actually found it less complex.
Try dealing with a manifold or first stage failure, then compare it with dealing with issues whilst either sidemounting or using a slung pony. Being able to see what you are trying to resolve is inherently more simple than trying to work out what is going on behind your head!
I change the gas in that tank once a year, assuming of course that I haven't used the tank.
I top off my pony every time I fill my tanks......I take a few breaths of the tank on each dive to check it works and practice deploying it.......so I loose a bit every dive......
My LDS tops them off for free, so it is no big deal........
