looking around 1000 to 1200, if not I will wait some time and go for one around 1400 to 1600.

I one to buy one time, I can get new Drysuits for 600eu, but the brands don't convince me.

DUI are very overpriced IMO.
 
Would UK offer better or cheaper option?
It shouldn't be too difficult/expensive to nip across the channel.
 
i have a seaskin nova (www.seaskin.co.uk). MtM and with all options, you're probably looking at about £800 max. I haven't had any major issues, and I've put over 400 dives on mine.
 
Look at artic :) I've seen some GUE cavedivers diving it and they were quite happy (with about 100 dives done on the suit). It's basically a made to measure DUI TLS350 clone, and looked nice. Is in your ballpark budget (1000 - 1200 € ).

The brand is Spanish and their website is in Spanish only but they have a facebook page and a couple of dutch dealers so you should be able to find it.
 
I have heard good things about Arctic. Seems a nice suit. The Beldert has it on sale among others.
 
Does anyone have experience with USIA's higher end suits? I used to own their Bi-lam entry level suit and it was a nice suit for 600 USD. I get the impression that they higher end stretch fabric suits should be in the same league as Santii except less $$$ costly.
 
At the moment I'm in Netherland, water here is cold, but I'm practicing with a neoprene drysuit, which limits my motion a lot specially for the valve drills.

I would suggest looking at an OThree drysuit. They are a British company but have a very active representative in the Netherlands. Excellent suit. Warm, hard-wearing, dry, and comfortable. Flexibility not a problem with good neoprene

Their neoprene suits look awesome!
 
AJ:
If the OP want's to go tech I would advise against a neoprene dry suit. Otherwise neoprene is fine.

I do a little "technical diving." Teach it a bit too. Never run into any issue with OThree suits... not your grandma's rubber neoprene... Heavier than trilam. Take longer to dry. Better fit. Warmer. more Robust.

The old-school warning that buoyancy control is harder/impossible in a neoprene suit is invalid. My buoyancy control is excellent throughout the length of the water column. Come up to Marianna at the end of the month, I'll show you!
