another fast suit question

Hi, I see that there is a big price difference between the Blue Seventy Nero comp and the PointZero 3. Is it really worth $100.00 more for the nero comp? I own a PointZero3 and swim very fast in it. Contrary to what Ande says it does not have flare legs or ankles with velcro (though after multiple swims the ankles are verly slightly loose). There is a drawstring on the zipper (to allow you to zip/unzip the suit on your own) but I just cut it off so no problems there. I'm not sure if the "zipper hood" creates more drag than the "unhooded" zipper on the Neros (which just flops around, I guess). Yes, they were made for triathlons (and thus for something to be worn under them) but triathalon clothes are quite tight fitting. I couldn't fit much more than another tech suit on under my pointzero3 (something I hear folks are doing these days...) The biggest issue is sizing. I'm 6'0" and 170 and have to wear the second smallest (male) suit for a tight fit. That means the proportions are not ideal... Try it on in a store before you buy it. So long as the "fit" works for you, I suspect you will be very pleased with the pointZero3 if you decide to go that route.
