I just went through this process and settled on the Sherwood Wisdom II. I decided to go AI and keep an old SPG as a backup just in case. I dove with it on Saturday for the first time and was very pleased. I personally need gauges with very readable displays. Even though I wear contacts when I dive, I wanted to be able to see the display if I lost one or both mid-dive. The Wisdom II display was great. Also, the vis was exceptionally low on Saturday (approx 6-8 ft) so I was relying heavily on the console for navigation, and it was comfortable to use the compass and check the display. Overall, I was very pleased with it. I read some posts where people mentioned a 10 - 13% deviation in PSI readouts compared to a mechanical SPG, but I am not experiencing any discrepancy (I compared the value to 2 separate SPG's to make sure). ST was great to deal with also (Thanks, Wade). I wound up getting the new Sherwood SR1 reg and Sherwood octo as well. The new reg should be arriving tomorrow, so I can't comment on it just yet. I hope to get the whole setup wet this weekend. Good luck in your search!
