Air2's and such are great if you have an 80 strapped to your back, but for ccr, its best to remove the failure point of a reg that only has a few cubic feet behind it and just have an inflator there. If you really need the gas from that cylinder, then pop the LPI hose off and plump it to your offboard injection port, or access the gas open loop from the DSV and ADV. You really dont need 3 access points to a 13 that will run out just when you get calm again. the only thing worse than running out of gas on a dive....is running out of gas TWICE.
