AAAAARRRGGH!
Nice outfit, J. Guess you won't be needing that old purple Classic anymore, eh? It can return to its comfy retirement till the next student comes along...
Still waiting on my S6...

Not too sure to be honest - I guess I just wanted a new toy under the xmas tree...:P

Well:

1) Made to measure rather than 'off the peg'.
2) Bigger wing area. Better performance - maybe, as that also depends on the pilot!
3) I'd heard nothing but praise for them.
4) They're more common in the UK than the S-Fly, so comparisons/feedback/coaching is easier to come by.
5) I expect it'll backfly better due to the extra inlets - SFly, like most suits, doesn't have them.

I suspect both suits are more suit than their current pilot is capable of fully and efficiently using. However, as WS base is the long term goal (emphasis on -long- term, as i'm damn uncurrent in both disciplines), i feel i might as well stick with the suit i might end up using for that (minus the extra inlets etc) if that time ever comes.

I guess i'll see if any of my expectations turn out to be true soon!
