Finding some unexpected limitations

There are a couple of well known custom wetsuit makers in LA:

This one seems OK, and the sizing charts look extensive enough to truly get my fit right.  I don't have the option of anything but 3, 5 or 7mm.   I'm looking for a 4/3 preferably.

This one also only offers 3, 5 or 7, but only takes 15 measurements compared to JMJ, who takes about 21.

I like the idea of a 4/3 (which is what I have now), with the idea being a bit warmer than a 3mil, but still easy to get on and off.   I hate trying to drag a 5mm sleeve up my arm or leg.  Wears me out just putting the suit on.
