If you gotta look at price the ISC pathfinder is ~$5500, and is not crippled by software. if you want to dive 10/50 at 30feet then go for it. You do not need a special battery and microprocessor to go to 200ft or mix, and it is build like a tank without injection molding and can use a radial for cheap sorb and uses the same loop and lungs as a meg..
Pathfinder uses the standard 3 cell voting logic instead of regulating eccr based on 1 cell with another cell as a safety check like the Poseidon. If you want a safety check on your cell readings do a dill flush at 100ft and you will have a PO2 of .84, ~.60 @60ft easy (air dil). I don't want a computer telling me what my P02 is or should be.. I just need a rock-solid display. If I have 3 cells I can figure that out and I got 2 others to finish a dive is something is amiss.
With the pathfinder you don't have handsets to unlock etc.. you can use a nitrox computer or a computer that has P02. Nitrox computer you say, yea.. you do a dive at 100 ft with PO2 of 1.2 you are at EAN30.. set your computer to EAN30.. go diving. If you have a PO2 computer you will get a bit more time. If you want an EAC cartridge, Shearwater, pink can.. call ISC and tell them.
