I have been looking at the Mares HD and the Galileo Sol for awhile , what helped my decision was this site where I learned both computers Dive Computer Training my next one will be the Galileo Sol. These are nice computers and pricey its worth checking out this site.
If you like the bigger style of the Mares HD for viewing purposes, go with the Uwatec LUNA (pricepoint). It's Easier to use a read. I actually put about 40 dives on the Mares when it first came out and under great lighting conditions I actually found the color screen hard to read at times and using some of the options were difficult as well. I have experienced none of these issues with the LUNA. The other computers to check out are the Oceanic VT4 & Atom. For viewing purposes you can't beat the OLED Display on the Shearwater!

When I checked the price difference in the Galileo Sol and Luna there was less than 100.00 difference , and if you bought the Luna and wanted the upgrades latter they would cost around 300.00 dollars.

I spent a few weeks with the Icon HD before returning it for the Sol.
The Icon has software bugs. For example the Dive Organizer gets Imperial and metric units all mixed up. The display is not that great, the unit is a heavy brick, drains battery all the time so it must be plugged in all the time when not diving, Mares support sucks.
Of the two the Sol is much better. At this point you may also want to check out the Liquivision Lynx which looks promising.
