My diving has changed greatly since I first dipped my toes into the water. From air, nitrox, trimix, argon, etc. has left me with waaaay to many cylinders:

2 - 80 c.f. aluminum (for air)
2 - 80 c.f. aluminum (for up to 40 EAN pre-blend)
2 - 80 c.f. aluminum (up to 100 EAN & trimix)
3 - 13 c.f. steel (argon)
1 - 13 c.f. steel (air, for calibrating 02 anaylizer)
1 - 40 c.f. aluminum (up to 100 EAN & trimix)
1 - 30 c.f. aluminum (up to 100 EAN & trimix)
6 - 20 c.f. steel (Inspiration rebreather, up to 100 EAN & trimix)

I know, it is a bit extreme, but several of the bottles are now set up for staging.

Like I said, went from air, nitrox, rebreathers. My friends & family use my 'spare' tanks, regulators, dive computers, BCs.

And now, for my regulator and dive computer collection . . . ;D

Realistically, you have to ask yourself how often do you plan on diving & where. I've always liked having 4 cylinders, thus two dives over two days, perfect for Crosby, Wazee, etc. I really don't like going to 'unknown' dive shops, I don't know how clean their system is, etc.
