Worth the upgrade?

[Howie411]

Currently have a Cobra 1, considering upgrading to the Cobra 3. What are the real differences? Is it worth the upgrade?

New Backlight
Digital Compass
Extra Button
Easier to Read display
Gas switching


My biggest issue with the Cobra 1 is the 3 button set up, its really a PITA to switch between items and navigate through the options.

...maybe consider upgrading to something non-Sunnto ? Those things are so uber-conservative I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would even choose Sunnto....

I went from Suunto's to The Galileo's. Found it a much better cumputer but then everyone has a different opinion.

I don't really care much about how conservative it is, I'm a novice diver, so the more conservative the better. I'm more about ease of use then anything.
