After reading this thread front to back a few times, I put my order in for a Nova on 3 June. Just got my dispatch date which is 23 July or 7 weeks, a lot better than I expected.

Let's see here...
All black colorways
Plastic zip and cover
Trigon p valve
Sitech oval cuffs
Standard quick neck
Simple warm neck
Sitech valves
DIR dump location
Neoprene socks
Kevlar knees
Telescopic torso
No logos/retro tape
Upgraded bag
40mm braces
2x expedition pockets
Forearm trilobite
One thing for my kiwi/aus brethren: apparently due to how Fedex only ships international priority for Aus/NZ, I might have to pay between an extra 16gbp or 70gbp(!!!) in addition to the quoted 96gbp shipping cost, depending on what size of box they can fit it in. Unfortunate but they did give me a heads up and option to cancel. Even with that and duty still comes in a few hundred kiwiean pesos cheaper than an entry level off the rack suit from the local dive shop so oh well.

My Seaskin is finally on route! It left the factory today and is expected to be delivered next Thursday.

After a massive battle with FedEx, I finally got my suit!
It fits really well with the 150gm. I haven’t tried it with the 250gm yet. I still need to try it with my hood and perhaps cut off the bib. Tomorrow I’ll put my pull over gloves on my Rolock 90.
I can’t wait to try it next week!

How does the seaskin compare toughness wise to the Otter Britannic?

Don't know what your issue was, but it took months, (after my suit left Seaskin) to get my suit from FedEx, because of a screw-up with US Customs. Eventually the shipping charge was refunded back to Seaskin, who then issued a credit back to me; the refund was not worth the time an aggravation. You should let Seaskin know of your experience with FedEx. After my debacle, I suggested to them that they use a different shipping company. If they get enough negative feedback about FedEx, maybe they'll seek alternatives for the sake of their customers.
