    I like my Tec 2G, has a great depth gauge feature, if you want to roll that way.

    I don't like that it doesn't do Trimix :/

    Plus 1 - the Tec 2 G / Aladin 2G will take you all the way through Advanced Nitrox/ Deco Procedures and is very cave friendly. It also makes a great bottom timer for trimix dives when left in gauge mode.

    I have encountered a few divers who use it on fairly short run time dives using normoxic trimix mixes, where it gives ball park accurate deco information, but they are again using it more as a back up to tables, not as a primary deco resource.

    I really love my NiTek he, and they're selling used at some pretty low prices. I believe I saw someone asking $350 the other day.

    Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.

    I kinda liked it the first way.

    That should have little to due with what computer you get.

    I have the nitek plus and nitek he. If you have no desire to dive he I would try to find a good deal on a nitek duo or trio. Not that I don't like my computers. But the he is pretty bulky and the plus is to small.

    Also still happy with Nitek He. Great computer for conservative diver not doing aggressive mix dives.

    If your predictive text replaces PERFECTION with OVERKILL, then yes! The Predator is overkill

    If you can afford it, get it.
