I'd say wait and look for a use Crossfire 68/4500. They go for about $100.

No. Sinister, no one sells 68/4500s for 100 bucks, unless they're used. Even at that price, the hydro date is often pretty soon.  

Do you know of a place where they sell Enzo Ferrarris for 500 bucks?

They aren't bad tanks. It is just that they are steel and very heavy. You also won't get many shots out of one fill. It would be more benificial to you if you saved up and got a nicer one. You won't regret it.

I found a used Crossfire 68/4500 with 3-4 years left in hydro for $110...so yeah, some people do.

Saw the same tank at a paintball store for $260.00 . Used it today in a all day scenario and I have to say its the best upgrade I have made and I have made many . Free Shipping and the guy ships asap if you pay by paypal.

I have a PMI 72/3000 and have no problems, I get about 700 balls out of a full tank. 

They cost $72 and I got 2 of them so I can get lots of air for the price of 1 carbon wrapped.  Just a thought.

How much heavier is it compared to a 20oz CO2 tank?
