[Paddlewise] Low Profile Deck Compass?

I had to replace the deck compass on our double.  Was surprised to find out 
Aquameter is out of business and their Sailor II is no longer made by Rule 
(rule acquired Aquameter).

Found a good one from Ritchie that is actually better than the Aquameter 
(their XP-99: http://www.boatersworld.com/product/MP81107956.htm ), but it 
is kinda spendy and a little higher profile.  A friend is also in the game 
for a deck compass, but the XP-99 is too steep for her.

I looked for the Suunto Orca, but can't find anyone who sells it any more. 
Is it gone, also?

The only low profile "entry level" deck compass I could find is the one 
from Seattle Sports: http://www.rei.com/product/752705  This looks to be a 
good value at 25 bucks.  Anybody have experience with this one?

Is there anything else out there in this price range or a little more, also 
low profile?

Thanks for the help.
