Pros: 
Smooth in the water, catch panels, high leg cuffs
Cons: 
Even though it has relatively great arm flexibility I’d still like more range, however this would go for any wetsuit in my case.

It took me awhile to get a triathlon specific suit because I had a surfing wetsuit and didn't think that a triathlon wetsuit would make that much of a difference. However, for the first time I swam faster than my training partner on our mile training swim. The suit feels good and I think it looks great too. I am of slender build and I think of pretty average proportions. The suit fits well. I like the under arm catch panels (don't know if they actually make me faster but it helps psychologically). Also, the higher cut legs really do help with removing the wetsuit more quickly. Good luck.
