I am V Shaped from years of weight lifting. The 12oz fits me good in the shoulders, where I usually have problems. How does the Brushed cotton weigh in vs the Ronin 12 oz? I noticed the made a 16 oz also. Is that better.

I have recently moved and had to change dojos and styles. I am going from Ishin-ryu to Shōrin-ryū as a purple belt. I have My new sensi is allowing me to keep my rank while I catch up on Katas. However, he is requiring me to buy a black gi, as all underbelts must wear black. (My 2 others are White 12 oz) I have recently bought 2 12 oz Heavyweight Brushed Cutton Century Gi's for under $150. I washed one, but left the other in the package. I tried on the 12oz, but still wished I have bought the 14oz Iron Man because I have always wanted a professional Gi. I can still return the unopened Gi. I bought 2 Gi's because I go 4 to 5 times a week and they are soaked by the time its over. I have to have atleast 2 gi for sanitary reasons. My question is: Is the Century 14oz Iron Man worth the extra $50 it will cost over the Century 12 oz? What makes it worth it?
