Why would anyone want to spend $5,000+ for something so dangerous, when they can buy a set of twins, and dive safer, for 1/5th of the cost?
I talked to a guy for a boat-ride about his Inspiration rebreather. He was going through the reasons it adds up to being cheaper than running doubles. I forget exactly what all his points where, but a big part of it was the per dive cost.
Trimix around here is ~ $100 per set of doubles. He ran his rebreather with a 19 ft3 heliox bottle as a dilutent to end up with trimix. 19 ft3 of heliox is a hell of a lot cheeper than 200 ft3 of trimix.
