why does that someone need others to validate their purchase after the fact?
Threads like this start because people are so uncomfortable with what they did, they need others to validate their decision to make them feel better. So, what are we supposed to do, "yay, you bought equipment that is certainly good enough, but I would never recommend anyone purchase from the beginning". Sorry, I don't like to validate peoples feelings when I don't agree with them.
There is a package for about $625 with the bc/reg/console but no computer for around $650.
With $650 you are a bit tight to get a computer with rig, but if you can stretch to $800-$900 you can get a lot better equipment new, or spend the same and go used for about the same amount of money. I am not going to validate someones decisions that I don't agree with. The gear is good enough for reef diving, I'd have no problems using it and for the price for a package, it's not bad at all, but I think better choices could have been made.
Jim said it perfectly, research first, don't buy and ask questions later.
If the purchase was Trianta BP/W, Hog or edge reg set, and a used Nitek duo or something, this thread would be "you can read basically any of the top threads in computer, bc, regulators and know what the opinion is going to be. When was the last time you saw Cressi anything get recommended on here? It doesn't make it bad equipment, all equipment on the market is good enough for certain purposes, but there is no point in validating someones decisions. Sorry OP, you started this thread too late for anyone's opinion to matter. If you aren't confident that you made the right decision, then you are never going to be happy with it, no opinion any of us can post will change that. You are either confident enough in it to not have to ask, or you are already having doubts and are hoping that someone will make them go away, but that isn't going to happen.
