Anybody have a Japanese made Axxe wetsuit or Isurus wetsuit?

I am looking at custom made Japanese wetsuits from Axxe (3mm and 5mm/3mm with hood) - Bohemian V version - http://axxe.jp/us/bohemian.html
Does anyone have any feedback on the Axxe brand wetsuit? It is an expensive custom made suit. Other Japanese custom companies are Bewet, Cyber, Seventh Wave (NZ), etc.
I have also been considering Isurus brand (I-Elite 333 and I-Soldier 454), which is a small company based out of CA - http://www.surfisurus.com/products/
Isurus wetsuits are not custom made but are still at the high end of price for a non-custom, more mass marketed wetsuit. My concern with Isurus is getting the right fit plus the suits are unlined (overall warmth a question).
I recently tried on a Patagonia R2 front zip full and did not like the fit plus Solspot.com's wetsuit comparison review indicates that Patagonia is a very heavy wetsuit in the water.
I would appreciate your input!
