Blackwood:I don't necessarily agree with that either.
I've always had a 'pick one and use it' mentality.
I have a VR3 and a bottom timer. I tend to plan my dives, some more rigorously than others but I can also bail out to tables if need be. I see no issues with different instruments for bailout. There are mearly tools in my toolbox for the dive.
As for my logic - its simple. Were looking for a failure bailout scenario here and I can pretty estimate where I am deco wise with the BT and tables, even on a repetive dive. That coupled to the fact I tend to extend my 20ft stops and have a feel for what my profiles should look like, my risk management says I'll be OK.
