I bought both of them used, and very cheap. ($250 each). At that price, you kinda have to expect them to flakey. And they were. After about ten dives, one started reading 50-80 bar lower than the actual pressure. The annoying part was all the out of air alarms. After about 15 dives, the other one's pressure reading would slowely creep up to about 500 bar by the end of the dive. Only the air data was bad. The ongassing calculations were still accurate. I sent both of them in for repairs, and Cochran replaced both tank units for free. I was very impressed with that since I was not the origional owner. Since then, both have been problem free, only about 100 more dives on them. All, in all, I am pleased with my IIa's.
