Haha! I've had both. In my neoprene O'Neill, I overheated every dive, including having very little room to put anything on underneath the darn thing Furthermore, the roll-sleeves would flood if I wore it without hood/gloves. However, I was warm, exceptionally streamlined and generally pretty comfortable. Then I went to my USIA shell. I loved this suit when I first got it, easy to put on and off, much room to stack stuff underneath it and the seals never leaked. Then I managed to lose around 40lbs and that was the end of my perfect fitting suit. So now I am a lovely cold lady floating around in a rather large zip lock bag... and it makes me a little chilly.
