Well you will still be a bit narked at 30m on nitrox. That's part of your standard gases, right?

Shutting down the valves won't cause stress. Your first stage exploding in a mass of bubbles bringing down all sort of crap from the ceiling and reducing the viz is going to stress anyone.

So I personally prefer instinctive. I'm going to think a lot straighter when I know that half my gas is safe.
