If you mean these...

then UE in Portland used to have them. They're still on their website but you might want to check they have any left?

Have you saw the price? :D

2nd hand is good or I have a 6cf to swap with ideal for wreck/plate mounting!

Guys,

Have always been a bit dubious about argon. How much difference does it really make to warmth?

Always thought it's like taking a lucky rabbit (or donkey) diving. Is it worth it?

Um... you'd soon know it if you put any mix with helium in your suit so a seperate bottle is needed once you start using trimix.

Argo v Air - well I understand that the difference is minimal so that on a dive with a short amount of deco (30 minutes or so) there is little to be gained but on a longer dive it can make the difference between feeling OK or cold.
