All,
I know this topic been around for ages. I do know it is (essentially) the same computer. My question is about actual screen size - am I right interpreting images that Oceanic display is much larger than Atmos? I never had a chance to see the two side by side I've heard questions ranging from "not really" to "much bigger". I like the angled Atmos, but I have to say that the de-cluttered info on Oceanic product screenshots make me gravitate towards ProPlus (larger?) display.

Bo.

ProPlus 3 is being touted as easier to read (I assume relative to the 2.1) at essentially the same price point as the 2.1. I've not seen them side by side but it may be worth your while to wait until they start to arrive at your LDS before you pull the trigger.

When it comes to computers, newer is better, and the ProPlus 3 has some nice features including the dual algorithm.
Pro Plus 3
It's already available from Oceanic.

Looks like Oceanic is running a 20% trade in/trade up promotion.

The 2 is more brick like vs the AI, and the screen is larger. As you said the AI is much more user angled friendly.
The new 3 looks very very readable... much nicer than the 2 but still brick-like in design compared to the AI...

I asked the Oceanic folks about the AI up grade as that 300 "thing" is not an up-grade in my opinion.

Their reply was hush-hush but something new this way comes....

for larger put a reader lens in your mask for about 17$ you can also see the numbers on your compass and the feathers on the feather duster worms
