Should we "ban" the LZR Racer from Nationals ?

Not sure if it's the suit, the Olympic year, or a combo of both - but I do get the impression that the LZR racer is the fastest suit out there. It's not yet available, but I am sure some people will pull some strings and show up with the suit in Austin. I think we should all agree to ban the suit from Austin and spread the word to everybody. I know it's not binding - but I think we are all "old enough" to work on the honor system. Any thoughts ?

    want to clarify - it's not about the cost of the suit - it's about availability. The suits are not available right now - delivery is for June or July of this year. The only suits out there are for "speedo Swimmers". I think some of these records speak for themselves in terms of effectiveness of the suit. Read somewhere that so far every single one of the WRs was with a Speedo suit. Also saw the Aussie results where a girl broke a minute in the 100 Back and did not make the team ... The Italian woman (Pellegrini) who broke the 400 FR record today at the EuroChamps was wearing an Arena. You're right that most of us won't have the chance to get one, even leaning on our best contacts.
