| There is no good reason not to buy one. YOu will find it easy to use, very good to grow with your diving for at least the next 12-24 months, and for many many divers it's as advanced as it is ever going to need to be.
The Quantum is a very nice piece of gear, and though there have been a few that have had the odd problem Apeks have been extremely fast and helpful in sending out brand new units. I had one early on that was replaced after I dropped a wreck on it, and the customer service just couldn't be beaten.
I would buy one tomorrow for most of the diving I do, yes it won't do CCR, but then if you're spending £2.5K on a unit a £500 computer isn't going to kill you. I also found it worked fine just planning the dive on the Quantum so I would be at 1.3 on the bottom and 1.3 from 10m up. The times with little conservatism were very similar to others using expensive CCR computers.
Oh, and if it's not right for you you can sell one for £110ish secondhand anyway. SO you don't stand to lose toss all anyhow.
