The reason I don't go out and buy the cf is I'm worried about it drying and
being heavy to pack around.

I have a CF. I love it. I respect the recommendations of the WKPP (who will
tell you to get the TLS) but where I dive I need all the extra warmth I can
get and the CF _is_ warmer (it is thicker).

You are right on both counts. It _is_ heavy but it's not like that is a
major problem. Also dries very slowly, and that can sometimes be annoying. 

I've also heard things about it getting negative at depth but does it
really get that negative?...Has anyone ever tried to figure how negative?

I have never noticed any change in buoyancy though there might be a small
one.

The zipper isn't as heavy duty

You're correct. My experience is that the DUI zippers don't last as long as
some others but you really need a not-so-heavy-duty zipper as it goes over
the chest and a more heavy-duty type would make your torso quite
inflexible.

Hilsen (Best regards),
