Aeris Atmos 2 compared to Sherwood Logic

[H2Andy]

hey all... i've done a lot of searches and read quite a lot of
good things on here. i still have a question.

i've been using a Logic for a long time, and
am thinking of switching to a wrist-mounted Atmos 2 for $300.00 OR an Atmos Elite (without the air integrated
module) for $430.00

does anyone know if "updating" to the Atmos 2 or Elite is worth the money?

my other choice is to just use the Logic on a home-made wrist
mount. It's a bit bulky, but otherwise ok.

i guess my questions are:

is it worth $300.00 to go from a Logic to an Atmos 2?

is it worth $430 to go from a Logic to an Atmos Elite?

thanks!

The big differences are the Atmos and Elite will have water activation, easier interface with the 2 button programming, larger display, flashing led alarm, audible alarm, saftey stop count down timer, built in simulator. If those extra features over the logic are worth it - go for it. As far as the Atmos 2 vs elite, Some people hate hoseless... some love it. I love it, so yes, I'd go for the elite... and if you are going to go hoseless... you'll probably save a few bucks if you buy the transmitter at the same time.

thank you, very helpful!

i am actually leaning towards a Nitek Duo right now, not a bad computer for the price,
and it also does two gases (one for deco). i don't do deco, but it might be nice to
grow into it:

That is the exact same computer as the Tusa... that's the Seiko... Just costs about $100 more with the dive rite name on it... compare it to this: Tusa IQ700 and you'll see they are the same...

 

[H2Andy]

yup, you're right. it's the same comp alright... but the prices are rather similar
(400 for the DR, 390 for the Tusa). When i get a chance (at work now), I'll
try to see if i can find the Tusa cheaper.

excellent tip!

Oh yea.. you can... just shout at me! In order to maintain the full warranty thing - we can't post below that price on our page...

i saw your last post.

That's why we have a toll free number... to save you money... I told you the Tusa would be $100 cheaper... Next time - just call... Ah heck, what could you do with an extra $100 anyway?! Probably just waste it on more scuba gear...

I wouldn't purchase an Aeris computer. I personally own an Atmos 2 and I like the computer itself and its functionality. However, I have found their quality control to be lacking. The brand new Atmos 2 I purchased contained an older software version. That should not happen, especially with a dive computer. When I brought the issue to their attention, I found the customer service to be some of the worse I have ever experienced.

speaking with a local dealer, he told me that the Duo
has a PO2 of 1.6 and that, despite claims to the contrary,
it can not be adjusted!

anyone know if this is correct?
