I have no complaints about my compressed neoprene gloves regarding, comfort or dexterity, they are extremely warm, and I can unbolt my snaps and re-attach them to the D-ring. Diving over and over with the same gear has enhanced my training.
However, the real problem is the surface interval, I cannot snack, or change out my tanks as easy, it can be done, but when you have a bunch of drysuit divers using their hands on board, I get smurf envy and want to become a smurf.
If the gloves are comfortable and offer dexterity and warmth in the water, I find very little reason that you should change your gloves.
Apply the cost of new gloves and ring to the Fundies or Essentials course and it'll be money better spent.
Since you have front zip and no wrist seals, taking off the top of your drysuit isn't that significant of a task.
It just kinda of sucks when you see scuba stuff sitting in your dive bag not getting used, makes you wonder why did I purchase that in the first place.
I don't want to see my gorilla mittens find there way to this unused pile...
If your little pony bottle is in the pile, convert it to surface argon for all your dive buddies
The only way to reduce collecting unused gear is to listen to advice and try different set-ups. Even then it's not full proof as a lot of us fall easily into gear lust.
When I had a more stressful day job, there have been a few times where I clicked "Add to Cart" cause I wanted something, but not necessarily needed it.
