FYI, GA's "22ci" tank is not actually 22ci. The sacks of shit refused to confirm my math when I posted the speculation and data on MCB, so I just looked up the manufacturer's stamp and found the fucking bottle myself.
There's nothing wrong with a 33ci tank; I've been looking for something along these lines for a while. I just don't understand why the GA reps blatantly duck me when I ask the question.
Another guy has been trying to get enough pre-orders for a 27ci tank. It's apparently a Catalina 9045. Catalina makes good tanks; if you get a Catalina that's 2" or less in diameter, apparently it's exempt from rehydro, which is worth the price of admission right there. I've been running a Catalina 22ci on my Automag for a while now.
Anyways, the unfortunate thing is that this 27ci tank is about as thick as a 20oz CO2 tank, has a flat end, and is even shorter than a 13ci. The 13ci is already damn near too short to be usable, and the flat backside of the 27ci is going to make things worse. I don't think it will be a very comfortable tank.
Last bit of info -- the Ninja 13ci is not a Catalina; I'm not sure if that affects the 2" hydro rule. Quality of the construction is not quite as good as a Catalina 13ci as well.
Fuck it, while I'm on the subject, the reason why I bought the Ninja 13ci is because I cannot get the regulator off my 13ci Catalina. The jerkoff who made the tank went ahead and put wedgits around the neck which lock the regulator onto the tank. I literally broke a strap wrench trying to get that regulator off.
Next time you buy a 13ci, especially if it's a 2" Catalina, make damn sure they don't put the goddamn wedgits on there, else you are going to potentially be stuck with that regulator.
