I have one. I was one of the beta testers, so I abused it for a year, including a bunch of 2-3 hour pool sessions in it with little to no rinsing. Main body of the suit is still in great shape. I probably have 150 hours in it at this point.
I did have to recently replace the the zipper for a sideways tooth, but I'm pretty sure that was from late summer diving in Texas, and having it draped over the side of a truck when it was 105 degrees outside.
I also replaced the latex seals that came with it for a ring system with silicone seals, but that was a preventative measure, the original latex seals were fine at the time.
Only minor complaint is the one-size fits all suspenders are ridiculously long. Im 5'10, 200 lbs and have them cinched up as short as they will go, and they are still too long by a couple inches.
Oh, I have the back zip version, which is the pro rather than the tech.

I have one. I really like mine. It fits comfortability. It is pretty easy with the front zip to get in and out. I got mine with dry gloves, and really like being 98% dry when I am done with a cold water dive. I agree the suspenders are long, I'm 5'11 180 and am able to get them to work normally, but I will need to trim them a little once I get my undergarments squared away.
