Jeff,
I'm a bit newer a diver then you and not quite sure what you are going for but I thought I'd speak up for the Gekko computer, it's cheap and easy. I used it's big AI brother, the Cobra, as a rental for a weekend with no instructions and with a little fumbling was able to work it out. The Gekko is similar, but no air integration, CHEAPER, console or wrist mount, and "no PC download" (supposedly you can download with a hack). I dove with my Gekko days ago no problem, loved it and finally sat down today to read the book and can't wait to try all the new stuff I learned.
(before everyone gets after me for diving without knowing the gear, I first pool dove the Cobra, and talked with shop people and dive instructors to at least make sure the thing wasn't on nitrox, set the time, get the basics etc)
