Wetsuits — I have a 7mm and need a 3mm

[bigsnowdog]

I am fairly new to diving and spent a fair time renting 7mm suits for diving here in the midwest in water in the upper 50's and 60's. I wanted to own one and did then buy an Aqualung SolAfx; their semi-dry. What an incredible suit that is. Fits really good, much better than the conventional stretch suit I was renting, and almost no water penetration at all. A remarkable experience. I can't say enough good about it.

I will need a 3mm suit for a week long trip in November to Bonaire, and hopefully many more trips to warm water in years to come. I can rent one or also consider I could buy and have something for my money.

Is the smart thing to do to buy another Aqualung suit, since I like this 7/8 suit so well? Or should I consider several brands of 3mm suits that you as an informed and experienced group recommend?

What are your thoughts?

Thank you....
