Phi - They are the same model, but not the same program or environment. DC's are "real time", and must deal with real world data sampling. It's quite a bit easier and safer to validate whatever your deco software is telling you on your PC rather then just trusting your computer underwater. Also, I believe (although I don't bother with a second timer myself) that the optimal DIR is one bottom timer/depth gauge (pref. uwatec) and one wristwatch. The stopwatch is nice for timing interesting stops that aren't on minute boundaries. (Not that I do that either).
