replacement for Gekko?

[ElChe]

I don't think an ordinary recreational diver should buy a better computer than a Zoop (or an Uwatec Aladin Prime). OK for dives on air, OK for nitrox, conservative with a proven RGBM algorhythm... If somebody wants to be a technical diver he has to change too much items in the equipment, the computer is only one of them- and the Suunto has a good reputation so it can be sold easily later or keep as a secondary instrument.
Anyway the color of the Zoop makes it different from the Vyper and the Gekko, that should be the main reason.

How does the phosphorescent display of the Zoop compare to the backlight of Vyper for night diving?

I have both (Gekko) much of a muchness, maybe the Vyper by a hair. As I wear my comp on my right wrist and hold my light in my right hand the Vyper is a tad more convenient.

Id give the Vyper one up as it can be used in gauge mode.

That's true, it's another difference.

Because you get blinded by the white bezel when you shine a torch on it. The kindergarten-style black scribbles help. That's why.

Gekko/Zoop have gauge mode too... you just have to bend them to access it

Also the Vyper has an on-board simulator which is great for learning the display.
