Especially since those tanks may not own any up to date VIT accessories and carry only STR/pentmelded ones.
I recommended a week ago, in this thread, to get VIT accessories, "just in case". I still recommend this in the event SE gives no F's about smoothing a transition. But I personally like to be as prepared as possible.
