Paul-
      good luck.  Keep in mind that drysuits are just about the _only_
common piece of diving technology that, when everyone surfaces after the
dive, everyone talks about how well it worked, or didn't.  How many times
have you ever seen divers gather round and say things like "gee, I got lots
of air this time" or "even with all that Aquaseal, my reg still isn't
working", etc.  Drysuit technology, in my (soggy) opinion just isn't
there yet- we're a long way from drysuits being just a "commodity" that
is mostly taken for granted.  When they work, they're great, but like
dandruff, people take lots of pleasure in fiddling with them.
