Haven't tried argon, but I use nitrogen for my guns most of the time. No appreciable difference in power between N2 and air, just cheaper for my situation. What's the pressure on that nitrogen bottle? I use a 443 cu. ft. bottle at 4500 psi, now that I'm down to one PCP I expect it to last at least a year. I used to get 6 months shooting 2 Air Force Talons a LOT. Regardless, it sounds like a better deal than the scuba tank. One other thing about nitrogen vs. scuba tanks. Although I can't prove it, I think it's drier than compressed air, and I think that's better for my guns, and that they shoot just a bit more consistently. Good luck.
