So an LDS may charge for a VIP on the tanks they sell also. LeisurePro only collects sales tax in New York so that is additional savings.
I suspect it all depends in what they think they can get away with on a case by case basis. Personally I'd tell them where to go.
Personally I just picked up two tanks off craigslist for $20. The valves were junk but I wanted to go DIN any ways due to my Hog D1 1st stage. After that and Hydro/VIP I'm going to be in for $100 each tank. That said, as much as I dive, I might have been better off spending the apx $200 at my LDS and get free fills for a year.
