deep 6 is a good computer and will be better with the update, I prefer to have everything in one unit.

The Cochran doesn't affect the compass?

From what i remember about Cochram, the compass might affect the computer

Nope, not an issue,
It may spike a bit when it first powers up, but then its fine

What’s the DC on the right? Looks schmick… and therefore expensive

One day when I’ve got more experience tucked away, the kids are grown up and either moved out or coming with me, and I’m diving a lot more I’ll invest in a more “complete” DC.
Until then I’m looking forward to getting my D6E. Now if only they’d hurry up and process my payment and ship it already

will be better with the update

This was one of the deciding factors for me.

My wife used a Perdix and I had a Petrel.

The Petrel battery compartment flooded so the computer was toast. Shearwater offered me a deal on a Peregrine even though they were under no obligation to do so. I liked the idea of a rechargeable internal battery, so took them up on the offer. I also bought one for my wife so we could keep the Perdix as a backup.

We did 16 dives recently in Cabo Pulmo and really liked the Peregrines. They're a bit more compact than the Perdix, are easier to set up gases on and have a better wrist strap. They also consumed about 25% of the battery life over 16 dives, so very little power draw.
