I love the weezles so much I have all 3 for different seasons (compact, extreme and plus). Get a bicep sleeve to help with the dumping. I've had the plus down to 37F and it was tolerable, even.

Weezle fan. 2 extreme plus 3 pairs booties. Hard pressed to convince me otherwise assuming money no object. Dove santi bz, mk3, ursuit, 4th element arctic and halo, bare heavy , bare sb. Never needed more lead over a bz or thinsulate . Lm heated shirt snd 4th element boxers as undies. Pile on stuffy layers or extreme plus and heat. No brainer. Coldest 4c. Average 7c.

Wore in the coldest water possible 1C. The extra 2kg of lead it takes to sink the extreme+ is because it has more loft in it. Loft is insulation. The extreme+ is the suit to wear for temps lower than 8-10C

Heated Santi is kind of apples and oranges since its 100w of heat. I used heat underneath the Extreme+ in Plura and other systems that are 1-3C but not really counting that. I don't think its possible to be genuinely warm in 1C water for an hour without active heat. Unless you're working really really hard for some reason.
Out of the box I would say the Extreme+ is about 10-20% warmer than the Bz400. After a year of use (~75-120 dives) the Extreme+ is significantly warmer than any Thinsulate undergarment. Thinsulate breaks down *fast* and even faster if you wash it. I still have a 15yo Weezle that has been washed 100s of times and has 700 dives on. I still use it.
