Tube 5 vs. PF Power 2 Piece 22

[Ween 0]

After a very solid season, I'm looking to move past my PF Classic 22 to a new 2-piece with more performance. I'm looking at the Pressurized Tube 5 and the Phoenix Fly Power 2 Piece 22.  

I've heard some conflicting opinions on which has the best performance and features for value overall, both from very experienced jumpers.

Somebody said the Tube 5 has some adjustability in power by changing some zippers, but I don't see this feature listed on the website.  The PF Power 2 Piece has a cell phone pocket and butt pocket standard. The Tube 5 doesn't mention any of this.  Sending emails to Pressurized to ask about this.

The Tube 5 is 625 Euro for light jacket / standard pants with 4-6 week delivery.

The PF Power 2 Piece 22 is 690 Euro without options and 19-21 weeks!

• Tube 5 wins in cost and lead time
• PF Power 2 Piece 22 MIGHT win in features and performance, but not sure.

I own the Tube 5 and the PF Power Track Suit, and I prefer the PTS.  It's not about power really, it's about ease of use.

The point of a two piece isn't to get the most power.  If you want the most power, you should be flying a wingsuit.  A two piece tracking suit is safety gear.  It's purpose is to give you the ability to move away from the cliff, and the make it easy to recover from instability (bad exits) and to fly naturally.  I find the PTS more forgiving (flies well in a wide range of body positions) and easier (less 'twitchy' feeling in max track), which makes it a better two piece suit, by my standards (which are all about safety, not max performance).

FWIW, I also own the PF Classic (and about 7 other suits) and I find the PTS easier to fly than the classic (and pretty much everything else on the market).
