I think it's the same thing, but with the bells and whistles as
standard.  I basically ordered the same thing--Kokatat Meridian in
mango, with reflective tape, shoulder pocket, Goretex socks, and relief
zipper.  I didn't think I needed the hood as I have a hood on my
drytop, and never wear it now that I usually wear a neoprene skullcap.

I ordered the Meridian as the "base model" for my additions rather than
the Front Entry, since I like the Meridian's overskirt.

Longer torso (max=2"), longer arms - 3", longer legs - 3".  It added
quite a delay for the longer stuff.  I doubt shorter would be a problem
for them.

All I ever heard was GET THE GORETEX, GET THE GORETEX.  So I did.

I haven't received it yet...
