The Suunto Pioneer and the Orca are exactly the same product except for the way they are mounted. The Pioneer offers a fixed mount option where you can screw a base onto your kayak deck. This requires you put two holes into your deck. The Orca has a bungee Chord with clips and is removable.
It is worth noting that it is easy to add a bungee and clips to convert the Pioneer to the Orca.
Both are top notch products, though expensive. I purchased mine here for $29.95 which I believe to be a good price for this item.
