Sounds like an excellent set-up. My only concern would be the cylindrical res. I'd write DangerDen and ask if they have worked out the problems with it. If not, change it out for a better alternative. According to Digital World the manufacturer did not build it to DangerDen specs. Instead of using cast acrylic the manufacturer used a cheaper extruded material that cracks after time.

More than one pimp has been burned by that res cracking and leaking. Beware.

Different res man, those things are cracking left and right ;-(

I agree with some of the other pimps. I have that cylindrical res. At the time no one warned me about them cracking and breaking. I have had mine in for 2 weeks and no problems but i am very careful to keep an eye on it. Just call them and see if they have had the problems worked out. As for whether or not they ship out quickly my reservpoir shipped out the same day i ordered it. They say it may take 3-4 days on the website but in reality the lady i talked to in the phone said as long as we have it in stock it will most likely ship out same day depending on if you order it in the morning. Good luck with the WCing.

I order from D D almost exclusivly, for h2o gear, they are one of the fastest places I order from. They are located in Astoria Or.
Shine on the cylindrical reservior and get the "bay reservior".
