Hi Rich,

Time for "point / counter-point" -- I've used my TLS for somewhere around
200 dives.  I've used it mostly for wreck diving, a bunch of ice diving,
and some random other cold-water (but not "heavy duty" diving e.g. scallop
dives).

The suit has served me well in some pretty "heavy duty diving" (whatever
you define that as).  Yes, I've worn out seals and have put a hole in it,
but not apparently any more than others with the CF200.  However, to
disagree with myself, the 200 *is* sturdier.
