I don't think I've read anyone wishing they didn't get the extra room, some have wished they did. I got it and I've been super happy, but I dive in the 2C-8C range. 13C is like bath water to get into.

My experience has been that my undergarments have changed over time and my style of diving does for different temp waters. How much air I put in the suit vs the wing, etc. It really is user dependent. I would have froze to death if I only stuck with the 150 like @Boarderguy does.. but I get cold pretty easily.

Bingo. Do you look as fashionable? Maybe not. But warm beats fashion. I'm small and thin. I freeze my ass off. Extra space for thicker garments is a must for myself. YMMV

@berndo yeah i know that the bz400g refers to the filling, I was more asking about the heating feature of the bz400 that has heating throughout the whole suit as opposed just the vest. So I was asking if there are other manufacturers that make undergarments that are heated beyond the chest area.
