Oceanic Flex or Mobby twin shell?

I have a chance at buying either one of these suits used for about the same price ($600 +/-) Does anyone know much about these suits and have any feedback for me? I am a fairly new diver and am taking my wreck courses and wanted to go dry.

Thanks
Ty

Two divers on this board that I know personally have used the Mobby's suits: Randyjoy and CavernQT

You might send them a private message (PM) with your question.

I have and Oceanic flex. The one thing I would warn about is that there are an inordinate number of seams. The more seams, the greater chance of leakage (a statistical fact my suit proved out!). Don't know if they've changed that. It should be a concern.

I opted for a Viking X-Treme for my newest drysuit. If you check around (I think you might start with C_C from this board), you can get it in the $750 range. I like the Viking better.

For what it's worth.
