I am contemplating purchasing a Suunto Cobra air integrated computer. I was reading the manual on Suunto's website and they warn that a diver should always have a backup pressure and depth gauge with them when diving the Cobra.
Is this Standard practice? My question is directed to all who use an air-integrated computer. Do you also have a backup console with you on the dive? If so, how do you arrange the extra hose and gauges? This would necessitate a first stage with two high pressure ports.
Thanks for any comments....

So,
Over my left shoulder: BC powerfeed
Under my left arm: Original analogue gauges
Over my right shoulder: Primary second stage
Under my right arm: Cobra on the end of its hose.
My BC (Seac ProTech - despite its name not really a BC for Tekkies) has a neat storage system for my Octopus that keeps it accessible, visible and out of the way and I don't dive a drysuit so that's one hose I don't have to think about.
This layout works for me but it may not be to everyone's taste.

Sounds like a mess.
