RE: [Paddlewise] foam vs neoprene padding

I picked up some latex foam samples made by Rubbatex (VA) at a dive show a
few years ago and in my opinoion they are the BEST! It's the same foam used
in better PFDs and is available in various densities. It is easy to get a
good grip on the boat and the foam is much more comfortable then minicell. I
have glued the 3M self adhesive deck stuff on the pads and it works
extremely well.

I've also used it, sandwiched with minicell and wet suit neoprene for a
seat.

What would be the advantages or disadvantages of using neoprene in lieu of
mini cell foam for knee/ thigh padding?
