Just wondering which suit might be better. I can rent either one, but am thinking of buying the Zoot is 200 the Reaction is 250. What do you think?

Fit is 99.9% of the difference between wetsuit performance.  That is, it doesn't matter which one is objectively "better".  Only which one fits YOU best.  If you can't try it on in advance, rent the one you might be more inclined to purchase later and consider it your demo.

I tried on a medium Reaction (used) and it just did not fit right even though it would have been a great deal to buy. Tried on a zoot flash medium and it has fit perfectly. It is well made, snug but not to constrictive. it is a 4mm/3mm combo thickness vs the reactions 5/4 (if I remember right) so not as think but that is fine with me. I am planning on keeping my flash until it wears out before I upgrade.

as was said before though, fit is 99% of wetsuit choice. if it does not fit...it wont work!

Edit: Also note that while zoot has been around for a long time the flash is a brand new model this year so you will not find as many reviews/comments on it out there either at shops or online. If that worries you the definately rent one to see for yourself.
