igotoofar, I have been using the VR3 for about a year and absolutely love it (I also like a wrist mount). One of the people I dive with really likes the onboard game on the VR3 while we are doing deco stops (has anyone else noticed that divers are willing to do the weirdest things sometimes?). I had been using the Suunto Vyper previous to the VR3 and found it to be a very reliable and easy to use unit. The Cobra is basically an air integrated Vyper. The Mosquito, Vyper, Cobra, and Vytec share many of the same basic features. The only way to select the best computer for you is to think about what kind of diving you are doing now and where you want to go with it in the future. Many of the manufacturers have fairly good descriptions of features on their websites. Some even offer screen shots of the display or simulators to show how they work.

There is no one right computer for everyone. As DRE said, "...the best computer is the one between your ears... " Whatever you decide on, the computer is just a tool. Good luck with your search.
