Ok, so I have a pressure suit, but I am in the market for something a little more flexible if possible. Here is what I currently have:

I am looking at this: http://www.sixsixone.com/Catalog_661Bike.aspx?id=1045284f-9660-47ab-839d-e5406dcc47b8&product=73c7aa18-b7c8-45c3-a878-e971d4274cee
I like the newer one because I have read in various forums and threads on here that is is more form fitting, it has more ventilation, and I appreciate the fact that it has a wider spine gaurd.
Basically, I am wondering if it is worth $200 of performance more?
I am not going with dainese (too pricey), I looked at a few other things too like a fox launch suit, but I am not to keen on the fact that the front plate allows the sternum open, and it doesn't look like it has as tough padding as the 661 pro. I am open to a suggestion on rock garden I guess.
Next on the plate, I need new knee/shin gaurds. I have these:

And I have the slip ons to prevent them from moving, but these guards are almost dead, it is time for a new pair.
I was looking at TLD's Lopes guards:

And also these 661's:http://www.sixsixone.com/Catalog_661Bike.aspx?id=b8a0c6c4-60c1-44b3-83b6-a578b5b2270e&product=c2bb0970-0fce-4da7-ab02-24d753a38a62
Thanks guys for your help in advance. Sorry to serve up so many questions.
