PMI or Crossfire Nitrogen...which is better?

[nak81783]

I am getting a small nitrogen tank for use on my automag. I'm going small because I'm also getting a scuba tank and fill station. I've done quite a bit of research, but I still cannot decide which way to go. I'm either gonna go for the 51 cubic inch Crossfire 3000psi or a 48 cubic inch PMI. I have a few concerns I'd appreciate some feedback on.

1. I've read the Crossfire tanks have a better recharge rate. Is this true?

2. I've read that the threading on the Crossfire tanks is brass (very soft) and bends or breaks very easily. Any truth to this?

3. On which brand is the reg and valve assembly longer?

4. I've heard PMI has the better gauges. Is this true?

Thanks,
Nathan

The crossfire does have a higher recharge rate but the pmi is more consistent reg. Look at some of the new crossfire tanks not all of them have brass threads now. I don't know which one is longer I don't think my pmi is very long.

I use a crossfire preset and have never had a problem with it. The only bad thing ive heard about them, is sometimes they have bad fill nipples.
