It always strikes me as odd that we pay perhaps £5k for a unit and when the manufacturer recommends a particular grade scrubber material we go out of our way to deviate from the recommended to save a few bucks.
Surely it's recommended for a reason? Why stray from the recommended when it is available - and certainly from my perspective - cheaply at that? I live in Egypt and pay around £8 / kilo for sofnolime. Not the cheapest on the planet by any means, but you have to have it to dive.
Okay, I'm a relative noob at this, but am I missing something?

there are many valid perspective and this is definitely worthy of debate, but on another thread please, i'd like to keep this one focussed to those interested in going in on a big purchase... just called around today and everybody is out of sorb...one more reason to buy bulk. anyway, feel free to start a separate post for such a debate, i'm all for it.
