Three, a cave filled 95 for back gas, an 80 stage and a 30 safety bottle.

I want to replace the safety with another 80.
I'm assuming BP/W. Do you mean 4 with a twinset on your back? I know you are not in a cave, but a lake. Doesn't matter really. But as you have a BP/W, why not have a bungee off your bp like many sidemount divers do when switching to backmount to loop around the top of your stage with the bottom clipped off to your belt in a way that it is streamlined?
 
Now that I think about it, I left a found anchor with a carabiner on top of house boulder. I can set it at the base and use it to anchor the bottle.
I don't know, aluminum cylinders can be kind of floaty. It may not be there when you get back. (for those Captain Nonobvious, I'm joking)
 
Yeah, I was going to say, if you have a known location that you plan to dump it just find something to tie a loop of cord around and clip your bottle there. Sounds like you know your dive and the area, dropping the bottle should be a no brainer.
