Not a fan of the fusion. I wouldn't trust it to be durable enough, especially with a skin basically designed to be disposable.

Great post Thal!
As far as the above quote, the skin is not designed to be disposable and the suit is extremely durable. The skin can be changed as the suit gets battle wounds. The Evo 2 is a tough suit, but in four years, can you give its battle wounds a make over and make it look new again? All suits get battle wounds, another benefit of the fusion is that the skin takes the abuse and not the inner bladder....thus allowing you to change the skin and make your suit look brand new again. That is not mandatory and not something that is 20 dives or even 100 dives into the suits life....but it is a nice option after a few years or few hundred dives
Everyone likes their own suit, the biggest thing for the OP is to try on some different suits. I had a customer today that came in for a Fusion and left with an Evo 2. The Evo 2 was a better fit for his body type and looked better on him than the Fusion that he was inbetween sizes on.
Go somewhere that you can try on suits, or be able to swap suits around if you get one you don't like. That way, even though you purchased it, you are NOT stuck with it and can get something else
