I'm glad the regs fit the Hobby Weld bottles, as there's a local supplier not 5 mins from me, so that saves on buying equipment (so that's really useful to know, thanks), the initial deposit is high though at £185 for both bottles, but refills are reasonable.
There is a saying is there not about when something seems too good to be true....?

My neighbour changed from BOC to the non rental type for his Mig welder but wonders if he has done the right thing
because they little cylinders don't contain much gas.....

I changed from BOC to non rental gas was using the little bottle but now use bigger bottle

I've just been down looking at them, the Ulta bottles are a good size as James says. I'd say roughly half the size of the standard BOC oxy bottles, and come with the built in reg.
