No advice from me other than you'll be happy with the Balance and the Suunto computer. I will say I bought my gear from my local LDS and you seem to be about 4-500 over what I paid !

scratchmyback:I did my OW last June and my AOW three months later, all in rental or loaned gear. After that I decided I was in for the long haul and bought my bc, regs and computer from my local LDS as a package, and got what I think was a great deal. I wanted to wait and be sure I loved the sport enough to invest that kind of money in it, and once invested, that I would use it. I would suggest you wait until you at least get through your OW to be sure this is something you'll continue with. It will also give you more time to save $$ and do more research. This board is terrific for that.
