Anyway to the point. I have tried out 7L, 10L and 12L ali stages. 7L is not enough for the types of diving I want to do, however there seams to be some disagreement between ali and steel stages.

1. Ali - Almost neutral and some can be removed, no removal of weight.
2. Steel - heavier but weight can be removed to compensate. Difficult to rmove stages during the dive due to bouancy, how ever some say "why do you want to remove them?".

My question there fore is what are others out there doing for stages at Mod2 level diving to 60m?
I'm sticking with what i know I've got steel 7's
people have there own opinions but Ali cylinders are very much in fashion at the moment ali80 is very popular.Do a search lots of long threads about ali vs steel.
