170 Osprey Tank Replacement..

I am replacing my 31 gal. aluminum tank. Would you go back with new metal tank or opt for a Scepter molded plastic tank?

i debated with this exact thing.  After much research, i decided to go for an aluminum one.  Actually, i just finished installing it (look at my gallery).  When i ordered mine, i was off on my measurements by about 2 inches. So i had to order a new tank from Alloy Metal Works (Phil is the best, google their info).  So, if you decide you want aluminum, i have tons of knowledge and a brand new tank i can sell you for $200 plus shipping I am in SC). I can send you the measurements if you are interested.  Good luck.
