Thanks. Have gone for that cheapo Zone 3 Venture from Wiggle. Hopefully the next day delivery will be in time for me to go to Shepperton for another swim tomorrow.
I think my rental yesterday was an Aspire (forgot to check back on the rental form after the swim). Will see what the Venture is like and probably upgrade when I get my weight down.
Forgotten how floaty they are.

I use a zone3 aspire, which is very good, basically as you pay more you get features that make things more comfortable and faster, i.e. more flexibility around the shoulders (actually useful) catch panels (debatable) better neck linings (very useful for avoiding wetsuit rash) then a whole load of stuff like cuffs that make it easier to remove, quick release zips that for the vast majority of IM racers make no difference at all.
obviously worth buying one if you are doing IM...
