Yup! That all makes sense...I don’t believe in the need for a backup to a transmitter (or a backup to an SPG). The parts required to add another backup (splitter, hose, swivel, SPG) is another four o-rings, the two on the swivel of which cause an annoyance and have a higher failure rate than a transmitter. To quote your post, you and I have happily dived for decade(s) safely with only one form of pressure monitoring on a set of doubles. The SPG or transmitter are “already” the backup to your gas calculations and planning. There shouldn’t be more than a couple hundred psi swing in either direction relative to what you’re expecting.
So then assuming that you have two accurate forms of tank pressure measuring, no need to thumb a dive if one of them fails.
