I have one. It is a decent enough suit for the money-but not top of the line.
Body fat and personal tollerance to cold water will likely dictate your comfort level. I am around 12 - 13 % body fat and stay fairly comfortable in it for 60 minute dives down to 55 degrees. I have dove in 48 degree water with it once. I was not completelyh miserable but not fully enjoying the experience either. My son, who has no body fat, shivers in his 7 mil Akona at 60 degrees over extended periods of time-your milage may vary.

As far as price goes I would shop around. A LDS where I live was selling these suits for $140.00 new or $100.00 for rentals in pretty good condition.
