I dive a perdix 2, really like it and have been thinking about a back up with bigger trips in the future planned. The closeout on shearwater a couple weeks ago, inspired me To purchase the discounted unit. It was a great deal and about the budget I wanted to spend. I try to keep things simple and streamlined but it seems like overkill to have a perdix 2 and teric. I am guessing once underwater I will love it. I am just really not this fancy in real life
