Feels like this is the same debate in multiple threads over a very long time. Fundamentally comes down to how much redundancy is necessary to mitigate risk
I would concur:
Unfortunately a lot of the most responses always hark back to the tired old statement of "multiple failure point" tossed in there seemingly to justify their opinion.
If I'm honest, the main reason I never took my spg off originally (once I'd gained personal trust in my TX) was pure laziness. I couldn't be bothered to hunt for the port plugs which I'd put in a "safe place"
I personally see value in having both, not for mid dive, because I've dived enough that for 90% of my dives, my contents gauges are there just to confirm what I already know
The only time I've had a TX failure is down to me ignoring the batt info - leaving it until "next week" to change
When it comes to the argument of all the additional failure point by having an additional spg - their just over hyped.
By basic preventive maintenance in havign gear checked and replacing O rings and hoses in a timely fashion these issues will generally go away.
We as divers accept the need for an Alt reg (octo). Yet they have the same amount of failure points as a conventional SPG, and an LP leak is far more serious. Mathematically the probability of failure is just teh same
You can mitigate out the use of an Octo by a simple Air Share ascent, but this has largely been dismissed as practical because of the greater risk if injury to divers and is not seen as good practice.
I frankly don't' care how people choose to configure their equipment, I just don't like people using "suspect" justifications to ram home their personal point of view as though it's the only way of doing things
