I think that it is mainly convenience not cost for owning own tanks.
As above when you consider the cost of maintenance and air fills which are included in the first fill for rentals.
A steel tank such as an HP100 versus an Al80. One will be able to drop about 4-5lbs off belt due to the buoyancy characteristics of the empty cylinder. HP100 empty -2.5lbs and AL80 +2lbs.
I purchased my aluminum and steel tanks when they were on sale. Just ask when there will be a sale on tanks at the store.
