David, Seen the suit. Some of the disadvantages I found: -Not a custom pocket. Comes with the wrong size pocket. -Hard to get into. Looks the same at first as a TLS but the entry is actually harder. -The boots are really not nice. Also the xl Jetfin won't fit. -The gaitors suck. They are not at all tight enough to perform the task they were designed for. -The seals were rather thick The cost difference is little when you calculate how many dives you use the suit and how much extra you would pay per dive.
