I too have used a Pony, but this was held rigidly in place by bands. I have also used the canvas bag set up. I would agree that the canvas bag does tend to allow some movement and therefore a feeling of being unbalanced. If your in a position to move weight around I always found that having an extra couple of pounds on the opposite side to the pony helped.
On the 300bar twin 7's I have a friend who is always feeling that her tanks aren't full enough..easy tiger...
This is partly due to many shops thinking that 300 bar actually means 280, plus she tends to dive with guys carrying twin 10 300bars.
One of the considerations to make is what type of diving platform. If it's a crowded rib large twin tanks don't go down too well, but you will probably get away with smaller twins. On a hard boat size tends not to matter. All to be considered when choosing your tanks.
