As a general principle redundancy is a good thing to have on solo dives. If primary piece of equipment fails, you fall back to redundant and end the dive.
In practice, my SPG (actually a second computer on a hose) is more of a "save a dive" sort of thing for the 1 in 50 dives where I didn't realize my transmitter was failing to pair before entering the water.
But recently that redundant computer had to go back to the manufacturer for a warranty replacement, and I got really used to diving without that extra hose. I now have the replacement sitting on my workbench and I keep forgetting to reinstall it.
