Ditto. Budget-minded rec divers are likely to be choosing a cheaper computer. Rec divers with a bigger budget are going to want AI since only the least expensive lack that feature these days. I'm sure there will be a Perigrine AI out soon, perhaps paired with the shearwater transmitter. Shearwater's good about fixing things and adding features so I'd wager this was on their roadmap since they conceived of peregrine. A smart manufacturer will fill as many market segments as they can.Also, SW may now be an aspirational brand, but I think the Peregrine is a legitimate recreational computer that stands on its own merit. It does not need brand status to make it a consideration for any rec diver. I do expect it to have somewhat limited appeal, though, until they release a version with AI. AI seems to me to be much more popular in rec circles than tech. I still do not understand the thinking in releasing a computer that only has significant appeal to rec-only divers and does not support AI. I mean, it does support non-trimix technical diving, but I don't know any tech diver who would be likely to buy a Peregrine, instead of buying a Perdix.
The inclusion of trimix is IMO like the scubapro 9-transmitter feature. Something that looks good on the sales slick but won't actually get used. It didn't cost them anything to include the feature so why not?
