It fits.
As Uncle Pug has said, "it WILL fit..."
It does. And I even performed my first successful seal surgery - no leakage at the wrists, neck or ankles.
Also the first dive with Scubaroo's spring straps for my Atomic fins. Lots of glances, and several positive comments... they were so easy to roll on while standing at a pitching gate, and so easy to roll off while clinging to a rolling swim step...wow. Just love them!
Dove the Yukon and the El Rey in San Diego this morning / afternoon. Started out as a three tank dive - the swells were a bit rough and the wind caps were getting worse as they day went on, so Cap pulled the hook and we headed in early.
Yukon was cool (my first time). Went down the bow line went up and back, hung out, then back topside. It was 55 on top, and 50 at depth (99 fsw)...I can only imagine the inside was probably in the 40's...please. Burrr.
Maybe not Burrr for you in the PNW, East, The Great Lakes, Europe (OK...basically everywhere but So Cal) but this was no doubt the coldest water dive this guy's ever been in... the suit was excellent. Just perfect.
Thanks for all the advice and knowledge everyone has shared during my period of public humiliation on ScubaBoard. All the questions and answers have really helped me to get a grip on land - But it only counts in the water. And today, I took a lot of what I have read here, applied it and was confident, in control and comfortable.
I'm posting another thread about my 50th dive (the El Rey)....probably the worst dive of my life today. Comfortable - for sure. But anything but confident and in control. The first real time I've been scared underwater.
More on that one soon.
To all of you - thanks!

PS: I'm kidding about the ankles.
Suit Stats:
* DUI Flex 50/50 Signature Series - cut to fit my short, fat, tiny-footed bod
* Factory installed DUI Large Zipper pockets (stiffeners, D-rings) attached to thighs...the bomb
* DUI CF 200 knee pads
* Black / Black / Grey piping
* QuickZip
* DUI 300 G (2X150, really) Grinchwear...nice color. Oh well
* DUI Thinsulate booties (way too thick...hate them)
