Great Question...I've been wondering the same thing. Looking forward to the responses. I suppose my biggest concern is that it says it is a two gas nitrox computer...meaning 32% or 36% Nitrox? I'm guessing. My Aeris is programmable to any nitrox % from 32-40.
Anyway...I'm glad you asked this question scubadada....there is not much in feedback or reviews on the Nitek Q

The Users Manual is downloadable off the Dive Rite website. In the basic configuration, both gas mixes are programmable for 21-99% O2 with PO2 of 1.4 or 1.6.
Thank You...now thats something I didnt know. I'm repeating what I read of a post on another forum; my mistake. It didnt make any sense to me why it would be like that and I'm so glad to hear it isnt so. I'll take a look at the users manual.
Would like to see some posts from users experiences though.
I don't think I'd spend $900 on a 2 (okay 3) gas recreational Nitrox computer. For that you could get the loaded Q and have yourself a 7 gas EAN/Trimix computer...The only advantage I see is that it's air integrated - and that's only if you consider it an advantage...
The Q has gotten good reviews on CDF. The advantage of the X1 I think is with CCR and vplanner integration. I just order the fully loaded Q on Friday. Looking forward to getting my hands on it. I have another Nitek and have always loved it.
