So if you bought the tri-mix version would you still had to get the EANx upgrade?

No, you just put only EANx gases instead of Trimix and it calculate you deco on available gas(es).

I'm looking forward to seeing some reviews on these things. From the specs it looks promising. Nice price point also.

Very nice, and was hoping for the $350 mark, but not disappointed. Eager for the reviews.

Yes, I am in the market as well and look forward to reviews.

Any chance for gas integration?

Closed circuit/fixed setpoint support on this or purely an OC computer?

Just a little economical hint.
Buying a bottom timer first and then upgrading it to either EANx or Trimix computer makes most sense since BT price + upgrade software pack = purchased with pre-loaded software EANx or Trimix price
and you own the BT / EANx software if you ever wanna go back. If for instance you will get unit with pre-loaded EANx computer software and then you would like to use it as a Bottom Timer you will have to get (paid) a
BT software and same with Trimix.

Cheers.

Does the BT show temperature?
