There is a little voice that tells me the mach-1 isn't an intuitive suit either.

I'd have to agree with you there, Glen. There are vast differences in the first flight performances of newbies. Some dive like maniacs, some are incredibly floaty/stalling and I really don't think that this would be a good way to compare suits. And like you said, high performance suits aren't usually intuitive.

This is mostly because of the pilot not having awareness. Once there is body awareness and acceptance of the proper angle to fly....some of the high performance suits(by design) in the market promote a proper angle and contribute towards a much improved glide. Initially, the other body position changes don't contibute as much to performance as the correct(or closer to the correct) angle does.
