From all of the discussion, this is the conclusion I have come to as well. I'll be using a pressure pot to test cells before heading out on a trip. Then, I'll spike the cells, on every dive, at 20fsw with O2 to ensure they will go above my intended dive set point. Avoiding the pressure pot test could waste a lot of money. Avoiding the test at 20fsw could waste a life.
