I use a remote with my tank 68/4500 carbon wrapped tank and not having the added weight anywhere is great. i just got my tank 3 weeks ago and had a 48/3000 on my remote.. that thing was weight me down so much! weight is weight, it being on your pack or gun does make a difference... my .02 (actually more like .01654 due to the declining value of the dollar.)
