Reasonable, solid equipment. At $1850, it is not particularly a 'deal'. At $1600 I would consider it more of a value, and at $1500 I would probably consider it a good deal. One thought - do you really want a console mounted, as opposed to a wrist mounted, computer? Think about that before making the purchase.
I suspect the point was the choice of a console-mounted vs wrist-mounted computer, and a suggestion you think through that particular issue before buying. There is nothing wrong with air integrated, nothing wrong with the Cobra, etc. The Cobra is nitrox-capable, has a readable screen, and Suunto is considered a quality product, nothwithstanding some of the depth sensor issues that have been described recently. But, there have been a number of threads that address the choice of console vs wrist mount, included a VERY long running thread on 'most regretted' gear purchases, that might offer additional insight on the issue.
