Ok.. er.. I got a little more spoiled.. I happened to have a b'day as well, and my fella and his parents got me another AL80. Soo.. this means that I will have to purchase another set of bands and a manifold, so I can pair up my AL80 stage with the new one... Gotta have ALs for Cave 1!
I'm just not ready to split up/sell my 100s yet!
Do you need to trade your 100's for some 80's? Let me know as I am sure we can work something out.

First, why are you planning on using Al 80's for cave? Steel tanks are the better choice. Better fills with a little more negative buoyant, even when close to empty. Save the 80's for stages. If the 100's are Aluminiums, do the world a favor and blow them up! Those tanks are the biggest POS on the market. (I'll refrain from showing my true feelings).
When is cave 1?
Lol.. no, I'm not using AL 100s... The tanks I have now are PST E7-100s.
There are a few reasons for using 80s... One of them being that we are not flying our tanks down to Mexico, and know that the 80s are available for rental. Although we probably will not be diving wet, there is that option, and would want AL tanks when diving wet. Soo.. instead of messing around with different tanks, we're going to stick with the AL 80s.
I'm going to take my AL 80 stage that I have now, and twin it up with the new one. The stage is fairly new too. I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep my 100s for now... I kinda like them.
Cave 1 isn't until next November... snifff.. snifffff....
