Are the computers you guys are talking about what you would think of as "tech" computers?
There are some real convincing arguements bothe ways. I don't use a computer for technical dives because I dive trimix when I dive deep. There are only a few trimix computers on the market. They are expensive even for me. I am a dealer for one of the companies and I have a freind who is a dealer selling out of his trunk for another of the companies.
There are other issues. What decompression theories do you accept? What model do you want to use? This will further limit your choice in computers or your decission not to use one. Personally I don't think most computers are taking advantage of some of the latest decompression theory. Well maybe not even some of the old theory.
On the other hand I may not be the most experienced or the most knowlegeable but there are caves that I think are a challange/PITA to profile and cut tables for (yes it can be done). OW/wreck profiles in comparisson are really easy.
I don't see any of the relevant issues being discussed in this thread.
