My first and only suit is the hatch so i can't compare it with something else about the slidieness and sensitivity in the tail.
But i know 6 people with phantoms,havok and only one of them can touch the lower part of the riser(he has to lift his legs).
When i was trying to tune my opening sequence(body position,speed at pitch time)it was super nice to be able to get super fast to the risers and stop the possible cut away!
Maybe it is not important but it makes me feel good:-)
