Question apeks THERMIQ DRY or THERMIQ Dry Advanced

[Acem77]

I have the same over all question,
Aqualung / apeks has 20% black friday deal through this weekend

I have it narrowed down between..
apeks THERMIQ DRY or THERMIQ Dry Advanced

I am leaning towards the advanced for a tougher build. The standard says it's more lightweight and breathable. I am not to worried about the cost difference but I like the breathable part also not sure if the socks are reinforced on the bottom as the advanced.

Hollis also has a good deal about 700 usd off for black friday for people looking to save a little more.

Looking for good rock boots that are not laced and are not too bulky where I need new fins, that maybe unavoidable.

I was lucky to score a good deal at my local dive shop for some fourth element undergarments.
Completed my drysuit course last week using a fourth element drysuit rental.

I have an off the shelf Thermiq Dry Adv and I REALLY like it other than being a bit long in the limbs for me (but that's just how my body is).
It's one of the lightest suits I've held but still feels very durable. The inner fabric moves very smoothly over my undergarments even when compressed leading to excellent flexibility.

I hear apeks fit larger? Based on the size chart I'll be a medium. I am 5'9" 165lb over all good shape. What boots do you use?

I'm 6' 205# and fairly athletic. According to their chart I'm on the extreme end of fitting the suit (think it's large) but in reality I have lots of room for thick garments.

I'm using neoprene boots over top because I get cold feet.

I pulled the trigger on the Thermiq Dry Adv medium, evo 4 rock boots and large phazer fins
