The actual act of swapping looks easy as hell; you might consider swapping out tanks for specific rides/weeks/months. I'm just waiting on the new tank in the mail, I'll be finding out soon enough.
I did the same, swapped out the tank right off the bat, easy to do, and an extra 1.2 gallons for any ride allows 40 + miles more to enjoy before needing to stop
