bouyancy - hyperstretch vs gold core

[Juls64]

Anyone know if there is a difference in bouyancy between Henderson gold core and titanium hyperstretch. For example, with a two piece farmer jane, would I probably need more weight with the gold core, or about the same?

I am not sure anyone will know the answer, but I will hazard a guess. Mind you, this is only a guess. One of my buddies dives a titanium hyperstretch and I dive a gold core. They are both 5mm suits and I think the gold core is a bit thicker. That, coupled with the hyperstretch having more flexible material, would lead me to believe that the gold core would be more buoyant and require more weight than the hyperstretch. I can't imagine it would be much though and I would probably go with whichever suit you personally like better.
