Diving with any computer is a matter of knowing what the algorithm is. All commercially available diving computers are safe - they have to be as the manufacturer wouldn't still be here if divers were getting bent in huge numbers.
Having a conservative computer may not be a bad thing - I am not the fittest diver out there so my Cressi with it's supposedly "conservative" RGBM algorithm is possibly a better fit than a computer running the most liberal DSAT. The fact that my computer might "punish" me for rapid ascents (which may cause issues with bubble formation) etc might actually be no bad thing. I have done a number of 3-4 dive days and never found my DC limiting my dive time.
One thing I would change though (with the benefit of hindsight) would be my choice of screen. Given that I dive primarily in the sometimes none to clear waters of the UK but with occasional night dives on holidays abroad, I would benefit greatly from the easier to read LED type screens instead of the old fashioned LCD types. Had it been on the market I would probably have gone for the Cosmiq or something similar.
