Hi,
I have used Compact and Extreme. Extreme worked well with membrane suit. For colder water / longer duration I used it in conjunction with a base layer and I think this gives more flexibility than perhaps getting the Extreme +.

It really is excellent in a flood - suit flooded in 8 deg C water and managed a 1hr dive with little discomfort at all.

The downside for me really is with the venting issue... but the sock idea is worth a look. The problem seemed worse when trying to minimise the amount of lead worn - and thus having a very small amount of air in the suit - just enough to deal with squeeze. The more air in the suit the easier it seemed to dump.

For the record I have switched recently to the Xerotherm Arctic and am really happy with it...much snugger fit and a lot less lead required.
