Was setting up my new Atomic Aquatics Cobalt last night. It looks amazing. But the HP hose is only abut 24" and seems a bit short for me. I think the computer will have to come over my shoulder and sit on my chest. How have others found it? Is it a big deal to change the hose? Otherwsie, I can't wait to try it out.

Depends on how you mount it - for attaching the top of the Cobalt to a left hip D-ring using a tied on boltsnap, the HP hose is several inches too long.
I'm 6'1" and find that running the Cobalt hose under the left arm and across the chest, clipping the Cobalt off high on the right shoulder, keeps the hose out of the way and the data on the screen only a downward glance away. If you're diving a long hose and care about unclipping the Cobalt to use its compass, things get more complicated. Otherwise, just route the HP hose under the long hose so as not to trap it.
