i dont like the 8 l oxebar because the center of gravity is too high up . its too top heavy especially when they get low in beer. i like low squat bottles to use as minikegs. . they fit in mini fridges better especially once the tap heads/ ball locks or whatever you put on top of them are on . i really like kegging in PET for many reasons. i wanted the 4 l oxebar since january specifically for its low profile. but it is suspiciously always out of stock? makes me wonder if they were ever made available. i think the only reviews o i saw of them are of people who were given them by KL to try out. if they ever became available i would get them for the price point alone. i currently use these:
in 2.5 and 3.5 liter size and i love them:

unfortunately they lack a prv but they are dirt cheap.
however i would prefer either 4 , 5 or 10 liter if they are short and round like barrels.
i also really like the fully integrated small cap on keggi. looks less likely to have places to leak then the OB.
i found a seller of keggi through facebook that ships to the US. i may get one for fun depending on the shipping.
for me the only problem with kegging in bottles is that the small neck doesnt allow me to get in there and clean it but thats the same as the little mini ss 2 liter vevor type kegs.
i like the graduations on the side. and yes it does look cooler then oxebar and thats a plus.
