Is there a perfect unit?
IMHO, I don't think there will ever be.

The meaning of "perfection" is judged by the application need. And everyone has different needs. Plus, individual need level also changes depending on the dives.

For example, an unit "perfect" for exploring a 400-ft wreck or a deep cave system won't be "perfect" for taking on a small single-engine airplane going to some remote island...

So people are judging perfection under different lights such as...

Is the electronic perfect ?
Is the unit modular and easy to assemble/disassemble ?
Is it easy to take different tanks ?
Is the WOB perfect ?
Etc and etc...

For me at the moment, the Evolution + DT BM-CL + Weenie-frame is "perfect" for what I want from an eCCR:
  • (so far) reliable electronic
  • integrated deco
  • HUD
  • small and portable
  • non-clutter chest area
  • take any size tank easily
I will pick up a second-hand Meg to play when something else newer come along and people are itching, but it is too costly for me to fly elsewhere for the training.
