I wear the XL Tall in the Henderson Hyperstretch 7/5 and I'm 6'4" 225... fits like a glove!

It depends - are you long in the leg or torso?
I have long legs and arms. I have the bare fullsuit Large/Tall which is a bit long in the body for me, legs & arms are ok. I'm 6'3" 180lb.

I bought on e-bay a Large + Tall wetsuit; probably a 7mm, at least a 5mm. I need an XL, and was thinking about getting it re-sized, but havn't taken the time to do it. Now, I'm thinking I'd be better off with a drysuit. If your husband is interested send me an e-mail at bruscke@abax.com.

another vote for BARE. I'm 6'3" 230 and wear a BARE XLT (with a little arm and leg length to spare)

You can also check to see if the manufacturer will add another panel to the legs/arms if that is where you need the additional length. Being 6'9" 220, I fit in a BodyGlove XL nicely, except for the wrists and ankles. I sent it to BodyGlove and they removed the existing panels at the wrists and ankles, and installed ones that were 3" longer. Looking at the suit, you can't tell it was altered and it is still under full warranty.

Worth checking into if there is a suit from a particualr manufacturer that you want.
