Sean,

Aren't dive computer and decompression software more or less use practically
the same deco model(s) ? On deeper dives, I cut tables too. But I was
referring to week-end diving where one doesn't necessary dive deep or on
trimix. May be I am off, but trimix is expensive here (Asia) and we don't
use it on anything less than 40-50m.

Again, I understand your feeling when it comes to certain unreliable
computer (i.e. CockRing Nemesis). I did mentioned that my Nemesis IIa die
when I still had considerable time left on deco.

Just my $0.02 too :-)
