I tried the 14 cf 2015 psi but was too long bringing the weight of the valves lower and messing with the balance of the unit.
I really like the Faber 13 cf LP (steel) for salt water and I the AL 13 cf Luxfer or Catalina for fresh water. The Catalina is a little be wider and shorter but you almost can't notice the diference.
The volume for me was enough for any dive because usually when I do a deep dive I don't do a second dive in sequence and if you do 2 dives around 140 ft the volume was more than enough.
I just can't waste gas with this size of tank.

Cheers,
