I have heard a few people comment that they thought that recent versions / models of DUI drysuits were more prone to leaks. Does anyone have any info on this that might be more than hearsay?

I just bought a TLS front entry last October. I have noticed the suit sweats quite a bit tho. But then again I'm wearing iti in 85 deg weather and bottom temps are usually in the 40s so pretty big temp swing. Another thing I noticed I have to dive iwth the exhaust valve a couple clicks closed. If i have it wide open it seeps water but not to the point that it will make you cold or wet.
 
I only have my own experience to report. Bought a Flex Extreme in April and have about 15 dives on it. No leaks and liking it very much.
 
TLS350 made in 2008, no leak so far even when some material was compromised. It was properly fixed by DUI. Not the toughest, but very comfortable suit
