One more try for a complete tank - New Acecare 6.8L @ $306 or a 3L @ $218

My original post was in error and was only for the filling station parts. With some further searching, I have narrowed my choice down to one of these two tanks which both come with the tank, tank valve with gauge and filling station with gauge. Though I won't be using the nearest SCUBA (100 mile round trip) shop very often, I thought it would be nice to have them fill it for $7 to their max pressure of 4000 PSI rather than starting at zero. They told me they would fill a CE certified tank as long as the build date and hydro were current, so no need to pay $100 to $200 for the same tank with DOT certification for that option.

$306 for a complete package 6.8L Acecare - Essentially the same tank as a new Air Venturi Wingman @$575 delivered or a 3 year old Wingman 74 @$517 delivered from PA.

or

$218 for a complete 3L volume / 26.4 cubic foot capacity at 4500 psi Acecare - Air Venturi doesn't seem to offer a 3L tank - $334 delivered on Amazon for the 3L

Though I am leaning heavily towards the 6.8L, this tank at 4.6 lbs would be much nicer to carry around in the field than the 6.8L at 8.6 pounds.
