Depth by itself should not make any difference. There is increased risk with increased depth, you should have a reason for going deep, know the risks and plan for gear failures. Most of the best visuals are near the surface. The deeper you go the less time you have to enjoy things and going deep should be progressive building on experience. Once you reach decompression requirements you can no longer simply make a free assent if something goes wrong.
That said the spirit of exploration lures many divers deeper including myself. My dive group is exploring and documenting sinkholes off the Florida west coast.
A typical dive using trimix may run +250' depending on objectives. We have made several exploratory dives to 350'+ in offshore caves. Getting there is easy, coming back up without getting bent is the real challenge.
Also much more expensive as you need more regulators, more tanks and helium for trimix is expensive.

I have read plenty of information on the subject and there seem to be many valid arguments for both sides. I want to hear what argument made you so sure you are correct.

Not very smart...run that PPO2 by me again
Yeah, No kidding.
130ft on the dot. I don't really feel compelled to go back down there.

121 in Buford sink, it's too easy to go a lot deeper in there.
