thanks for the feedback, I am a big believer in buying the best equipment you can afford in what ever you do, (not just diving) the old adage you get what you pay for is so true. that is not to say there are not bargains out there for less money, but it seems to me that if I bought the uwatec smartcom I would not be going wrong.
I understand what was said about the best computer being free and I agree, its just when I went on my first 4 day live aboard doing 4-5 dives in a day I found the tables really restrictive and was blessed when on the 3 rd day someone lent me a comp and I couldnt get over the differance it made to my pressure group upon leaving the water. Not doing multi level dives, and diving purely on the padi tables made it quite hard to do multi dives on the day and stay within acceptable pressure groups.
hence my quest for the best comp money can buy
