This has 2 advantages:

Downsides:

None
Hi,

I don't understand why you have a manifold at all.

A manifold when used 'correctly' is a potential failure point but the advantages outweigh the risks. You have the same risks but are getting none of the advantages. You are then introducing more risk with all the reg swapping (swapping every 10Bar is a lot of task loading/risk if you are going to be using 150Bar of gas! What a PITA that must be), 2 spgs etc. etc...

You would be safer with completely independant tanks or rethink how you dive your manifolded twinset.

Best regards & merry xmas,

Mark.
