Cylinders - Euro vs Faber

I'm hoping to stop using the club's 10L's and bite the bullet by buying some cylinders of my own - my plan is to buy two matching 12L cylinders, twin them and run them as independents.

I've seen a lot of talk on here about Euro cylinders from NikNaks and I've looked into them a little bit but I've seen so many Fabers around that I'm nervous about going away from them.

Does anyone have any experiences of using Euros or thoughts on which are better? They seem to be a similar weight (14.2kg with valve) and similar prices so why should I go for one over the other?

Alternatively if anyone in the South East is flogging a set of twin 12s then I might be interested.....

Thanks guys!

I've done some more searching (and spelt it right this time) and have now read some of the other threads on here about this topic.

I'm tempted to go with two Euros from NikNaks....
