I'm well aware that I'm tapping into a much bigger issue with this question.
Why not consider doubles?
The advantages are plentiful, the disadvantages few. I understand that there is a financial hit, but pony bottles aren't free either. Instead of slinging a pony bottle as a stage with no inherent redundancy for your back gas, just start your equipment configuration correctly and dive doubles.
It seems a shame to put more money into kit that will never give you what you need to dive safely.
JMHO,
