There are pros and cons for most things and that's where the problem arises I suppose.I used my twins last as independants having removed the manifold ie.I breathed one down and switched to the other(which I would'nt have needed to do if Bren and I could have found our way around in perfect vis!)This may be frowned upon and questioned as to the procedure if my 2nd cylinder popped a ring,freeflowed etc.However,in this particular case it was'nt an issue,it was'nt particularly deep or restricted(which does'nt make it right)but I beleive that there was less potential failiure in the rig than with the manifold.Look at the RN rig,they don't even have a contents guage and only one (decent)reg.,if it goes pot they manually turn the cylinder on and off to control the supply(using inverts)and they don't seem to have a safety issue with this even in dire conditions.Thoughts,Hobby.
