Doesnt the vision have the actual computer in the head? and if your handset gets chopped off at the cable you can still fly on the HUD? I have not checked...
With the shearwater on its own, if your cable gets chopped youve lost everything. If you run a couple of kiss displays next to it, youve got that redundancy.
Surely if you ran a Shearwater and Jetsam handsets unless you ran the cables via different routes anything rough enough to damage one cable will effect all three, or two, depending how you look at it?
I've ran a cord (much like the pod anti-twist cord) though with my handsets with is slightly shorter than the cables, I can't overstretch them now, I also put beefier spiral wrap on then a sacrificial cable tidy (thin plastic over the outside) seems pretty tough.
Routing the cable tight to the arm seems to limit snagging... I initially though the cable was a massive snag risk, I'm pretty relaxed with it now.
Anyway, is a mute point as my displays and I are not good friends at present
Fortunately Evelyn and Kim at Jetsam give wonderful customer support, explained all the options (I didn't know that the Battery PCB came with a plug now for example) and we're sorting it out- can't praise them enough for helping really.
