Sooo...... i called Roberts Oxygen and asked how much for a 20lb co2 tank exchange and it was 28$. the 5lb exchange at the same one is around 25. i couldnt believe that the 20lb was almost the same price as the 5lb one. glad i have the 20lb one now. going to use the 20lb one to carb the beers and the 5lb ones to just push the beer out of the kegs.

Arc3 Gases (used to be arcset) at http://arc3gases.com/ has locations all over.
http://arc3gases.com/locations-and-contacts . They exchange, but not refill tanks. 2.5lb exchange was $13. If the tank is out of date (mine was from 1992), they charge $30. That's waived for tanks that have their label on it.
On the other hand, I got a shiny new tank for a net sum of $43.
I'll be going back.

A friend sold me a 20 pound CO2 tank and I took it to Roberts Oxygen. Super easy -- walk in, pay USD $30, walk out with a different tank. No messing with hydro testing, no questions about how I came into possession of the tank. $30 was higher than I've seen mentioned on this thread, and Arc3 Gases quoted me $25 for the exchange, but Roberts was within 2 miles of my house, while Arc3 was more like 7 miles.
Plus I had an existing errand to run that took me near Roberts.
I was paying $4 a fill for a 20oz tank from a friend in Chantilly, VA ( I can put interested parties in touch ), now I should be able to fill them for about $2 each (assuming some loss in filling). Woot!
