I have argued differently. The reason being that looking in one place (the DC) for all information is much more practical than having 2-3 data sources strewn here and there in your configuration. The analog SPG should be there as a backup device, but tucked away so that it causes no snagging. Many are the occasions when I have seen, even a tech, diver who is like a xmas-tree with all his clipped on gear, including the SPG, hanging off when in a horizontal position. Another minor point is that (at least Suunto) presents the value in numbers. No requirement to interpret what you see, as you would have to when looking at a gauge. Regarding Suunto otherwise: I completely agree with Linus critisism. The lack of illuminated display (which may change soon though) is the biggest issue. Another one is the quality of their devices. I have, during my 6 year career as a diver, gone through 3 D9's, 3 HelO2's and 1 Vytec DS. But if something good can be said about Suunto in my experience, it is their support which is excellent. Every time I took the broken device to their service point at the HQ in Vantaa, I got a replacement without charge, even when the warranty had expired. And when I returned the Vytec (which was less than 1 year after purchase), they replaced it with a HelO2.
