Yeah, guess what? When I was researching kegerators three years ago (and there is far more information on the Net now than there was three years ago!), there was NO SUCH LINE for the Avanti. Had I known that, I would have said "no thanks" and moved on.
We didn't find out until we tried the hard way. Bought the Coors Keg. Didn't fit. Brought it back to BevMo and exchanged it for a Pony Keg, and it too, did not fit. Brought that one back as well.
I just noticed, in doing additional research, that disclaimer pops up EVERY time with Avanti. My guess is they got sued by someone, or perhaps a group of people, forcing the disclaimer.
That disclaimer did not exist in 2005.
Oh well. What to do now? On the suggestion of one of the Mods, I did indeed check BevMo to see if Coors was sold in the five gallon slim tanks.
NOPE! 
Now, just because BevMo doesn't sell those five gallon tanks doesn't mean they don't exist. It just means that BevMo doesn't sell them.
So....the quest continues....If ANY Avanti owner has a fix to this Coors problem, please englighten me. It's one of the last and vexing beer problems to overcome.
