Appreciate the replies. Only reason I thought about keeping the CO2 on the inside is I keep reading about how it somehow helps when it is cold. I plan to get a 10lb or maybe two if I go 6-8 kegs. I just assume I'll play around with pressure and need different amounts. This will probably be another year or so down the road. I plan on using my garage refrigerator and a few picknick taps on the first 2-3 kegs before expanding.
Great idea sir :)

I now use nukatap minis with flow control disconnects for kegs kept in the fridge. Simpler, no lines, better foam control.

Nukatap Mini - Tap only

Due to the low amount of thermal mass and the low conductivity of the tap the Nukatap mini is a great option as it will always pour with less foam than a full size tap even when the tap body is warm is seems to pour quite well. In Australia we are getting an increasing number of people using these on keezer and kegerator builds too with the wall mount shank kit. We will probably have to also make towers/fonts for these too soon. The only issue with the Nukatap mini is the flow rate is slower so it's not ideal if you are catering for a wedding or if you are using the taps commercially and regularly filling jugs.

The Nukatap mini as a flow rate of about 150-300ml/10 sec
The Nukatap SS and FC as a flow rate of about 250-450ml/10sec

So if you find the slower flow rate acceptable then I think they are a fantastic option.
