Subject: Should I buy it? Good Deal?

I just tried on an 08 Orca Apex 2 yesterday. The shop said I could rent it for $50 and try it out, which I'm going to do. They're selling it for $350 and said the rental fee would be put toward the price if I wanted to buy it. I plan on giving it a spin this weekend. Is this a good deal? I checked a few prices on ebay and some other sites and the range was anywhere from $350 to $500.

Oh, and by the way. First time I've ever tried one on, what a workout! Got all sweaty! LOL

The fit of the wetsuit is absolutely critical. Being able to try it out is great. Don't know if $50 rental is fair, there are some on-line stores that let you buy a suit and return it for another if it doesn't fit, but I guess you're buying a suit anyway. Make sure you put it on correctly. I thought my first full sleeve suit didn't fit, but after a couple of times working the suit up from my thighs to my shoulders I found out I wasn't pulling it all the way up.
