What's the current thinking on the best trimix analyzers? The two that jump out seem to be the AI Trumix and the Divesoft. I also see an ATA model out there. Can anyone net out the pros and cons and offer a recommendation?

I have a Nuvair Pro because I got it very inexpensively. The TruMix is an upgrade on that with a better visual display, compensation for helium, and is also $150 cheaper. No brainer to me there.
The Divesoft has the advantage of the optical He sensors which is a lifetime sensor.
If I were purchasing new, I would get the Divesoft without hesitation

I just got a divesoft analyzer. Only minimal use so far, but I like it.
Divesoft has a large easy to read display. Unit uses a rechargeable battery and has the capability of accepting a 9V non-rechargeable, in case of emergency. It has data cable for firmware upgrade. The owner's manual is less than stellar. You can calibrate the unit with 1 to 3 gasses for maximum accuracy. DRIS had them on sale at a very good price last year. Might be worthwhile to see if they do the same this year.
My buddy has the Trumix. IMHO, the Trumix has the superior display in terms of layout and what it shows you. The replacement battery is fairly expensive. Having used both units, I would go go with the Divesoft. It's less expensive, has the same features and you can use a non- rechargeable battery if you have problem with the primary battery. My analzyer came with a hard plastic case, flow restrictor, hose, power cord adapters for US & Europe and the data cable connector for firmware updates.

I have a divesoft. I recharge the battery and replace the cell once a year. It's excellent.

Divesoft as well. It's been fantastic, accurate, and very low maintenance. The only annoying bit is the clicks.

Well, I tried the Divesoft this summer at a Dive boat. I found it very effective, and wonder whether it will be worse for my use.
So I went to their site and got the Manual.
I discovered that they were to sell, as an option, a pressure measure simultaneous to gaz nature measurement, but no price appears on their Website, nor in the French resellers's that I visited.
Did anyone see that option active ?

Dive Soft is the best. I think I have a used one for sale. Not sure if I sold it or not. Or I can probably find you a new one.
