Another perspective, a great way to get a $300 + discount on a Teric or perdix is to not buy something else first.

Complete nonsense. I run an Eon Steel, as does my wife, as do quite a few people here. No problems whatsoever It's a very reliable computer. I also run a Perdix, which is Ok but IMO its only advantage over the Eon is that it can display 2 gasses simultaneously - useful for SM if you're too lazy to read the SPG's in front of your face..Per almost all of the comments above, anything but Suunto. Stay away from Suunto.
There is a huge prejudice against Suunto here on SB, and while the company is far from perfect most of the negative comments are regurgitated nonsense.
Many of the negative comments have to do with their use of a proprietary version of RGBM. It will be interesting to see if that those opinions begin to change once they incorporate Buhlmann GF as has been rumored.
What is it about Buhlmann ZH-L16C with GF that bothers you with regard to repetitive dives and multi-day diving?As a vacation diver, the deeper I dig into ZHL the less happy I am with its treatment of repetitive multi-day schedules. I am not convinced RGBM (whatever it is) is doing it right, but at least they were designed in some form. I am not sure which of the proprietary RGBM, proprietary DSAT, and open ZHL is the lesser evil for my use -- it's academic of course, they're all conservative enough to not bend people under normal circumstances.
I get paid for writing open source code, I can promise you that until you see the actual code with comments and explanations, the difference between "proprietary" RGBM and "non-proprietary" implementation of ZHL with GFs is six vs half a dozen.
It more or less ignores multi day diving.What is it about Buhlmann ZH-L16C with GF that bothers you with regard to repetitive dives and multi-day diving?
I'm not sure what you mean by "no tracking of multi-day accumulation". My Shearwaters certainly show the slower compartments loading up over the course of a multi-day trip, but on liveaboard schedules using 32% they don't accumulate much.
