| There willl always be differences between brands, and also dive buds computers. Although you have been diving together for several days, you will not have had exactly the same profiles. eg did one of you dip a little deeper, ascend marginally quicker etc. The only way to compare directly would be for 1 diver to wear both on the same wrist throughout the series of dives.
I use Uwatec (pro ultra and smart tec) so can't comment on the Suunto, but a mate of mine has a Stinger and Aladdin Air Z which he wears on the same arm and does notice differences though I cannot recall magnitude.
I get the impression from him that the Suunto is quite punative on repetative dives, especially where the surface interval has been short, though as I have said this is anecdotral as I haven't personally used one.
If you are diving conservatively within NDL, and with longish safety stops to offgas I wouldn't have thought there was a problem. Bear in mind that teh front of all dive computer manuals has a disclaimer that states there is no guarantee of avoiding DCI and that the bow of electronics on your wrist is for guidance only. The ultimate cop out clause.
