Thank you for the insight. I definitely haven't settled on computers yet and I'm sure my wife would appreciate a cheaper price point. I have very little experience in dual deployment and have never run backups. I am working on building a smaller rocket out of spare components to serve as sort of a test bed to help me be more proficient in it. The only electronic deployment I have done used a single old g-wiz lc 400 I had from highschool when I was doing the TARC. I motor deployed my drouge and used the g wiz to blow the main and it could only do one of two altitudes 400 feet or apogee it worked for my level two certification a few weeks ago inspite of being 15 years old lol but I need something much more complex for this project
One thing I really like about the Quark/RRC2+ is that they both program really easily with three jumpers/DIP switches. You can do that before you get to the field, so there's one less thing to do on site. They have somewhat fewer options in terms of apogee delay and main altitude, but I think the ease of programming makes up for that in a redundant setup.
