On sale for $600? That sounds a bit ridiculous. Looking to get rid of my Oceanic Veo 100 NX though. Should I jump on this deal? Why are they so cheap?

What is the difference between these 2? Same price, except the Smart Tec is marked down from $1500 and the Smart Z is marked down from $1300.

Thanks for any input.

I think the only difference is that the Tec can be paired to three transmitters rather than one

I assume they're cheap because they've been superceded by the Galileos

Thanks, Tortuga. Still a worthy piece to pick up at that price though? I am a recreational but avid diver, at least when it gets warmer out here to where these crappy lakes are worth it haha (currently in central TX)

Anyone else before I jump on it? And yeah, looks like the main difference is the Tec is compatible with multiple transmitters and you can change gasses on a deco stop.

"You can get them cheaper at LP" is a running joke on the board...
