Suunto is the market-leader world-wide in diving computers. Some of its top staff in Finland dive tri-mix. However, in terms of numbers of divers world-wide the company obviously does not think it viable to produce a trimix computer at this time. Whether you like it or not tri-mix diving is still for a tiny minority.
On a similar subject, Louise tells me she never sees any divers with gas-integrated computers. That's because of the habits of the small group of divers she spends her time with. World-wide gas integrated computers are very popular which is why the three major manufacturers make them.
We sometimes get a distorted view of things if we keep close company in an exclusive group.
Can't answer for Apeks!
