Hey McThor,
You are right. I remember when I got my PCIII installed I found a couple of electronic contacts which did not exist on the other tank.
Any way I have to wait for an OTR sale-off because the alternative one you mentioned it looks like a beer's barrel more than a reserve tank

.
Pls. let me know how it works as soon as you get it installed and if you can take some pictures to show, even better.
Saludos from Chile,
Mauro
