First Dry Suit purchase

All of my diving has been done in warm water (min. 26c).

I will be moving to Malta in the new year and diving throughout the year, so I know a dry suit is required.

I have done plenty of research.

I has settled on the Seal SL01. Its quality and it's price point really stood out to me.

I have been advised that in Malta repairs and servicing for the suit could be challenging as there are no dealers or manufacturers nearby.

The same people have told me I would be better off going for Santi or Bare as they have dealers and factories nearby.

These brands are premium and up my spend significantly.

I have a friend who is a Seal distributor and can get me a pretty crazy deal on the already cheaper dry suit option.

I dont know enough about drysuits or maintenance and servicing requirements to make this decision by myself, do any thoughts or guidance are hugely appreciated.

Will I find any restrictions diving long term with the Seal in Malta? Should I just spend more money on a Santi or Bare?
