Well until a few weeks ago I was in the Whites Fusion camp but had an opportunity to dive in a DUI TLS350 and now I'm frustrated.
I really liked the the ease of putting it on and how comfortable I was during the dive.
So... I looked a great deal at DUI's website and read a lot of discussions here on Sboard. Now Im unsure which on to get. Lets say money was no issue. Which one would you get and why?
Right now I do mostly recreational dives with my wife in SO Cal water. Average year round temp of 50-60 but I wont be purchasing this tell the Fall anyways.
I am currently pursuing tech diving from IANTD. I also dive wrecks when I am able and is what I love to do most. Deep, long, and most likely cold dives are on my horizon.
Caves classes in the Spring of next year. Since I live West coast I know that wont be the balk of my diving but It would be great opportunity and I will assume will increase my over all diving knowledge for Wrecks since both are "Pen dives".
If I go with the DUI TLS350 here are some of the options I have looked over. Any recommendations on these?
Black with Black Tough Duck overlay
Halcyon Exploration Pockets ?
Halcyon Balanced P-Valve
Cloverleaf crotch pad
CF200 Kneepads
CF200 ButtPad
Overlays for Butt and Knee
DUI Rockboots
"Cave Cut"

Also the Si Tech Neck Tite Drysuit Neck Seal System was recommend to me for the Fusion bullet. Would this option be optimal for this Drysuit too?
Unsure what I will be wearing under this but I assume for year round diving in SO Cal I could get away with a Polartec PowerStretch Pro Jumpsuit with Underarmor cold gear under that. On extra cold days maybe the Plus 5 Vest 300? I dive a 7mm Akona suit now year round but on my 3rd dive I usually start getting cold after the 30mins.
