Ronin or Century iron man

[chiliphil1]

Hey all, I am looking to purchase myself a new black dogi, I was looking to buy the Ronin brand 12oz heavyweight gi, but I noticed the same place that sells the ronin has century iron man gis for $118 (normally $150) I was thinking that for only $50 more the century may be the way to go.

I am asking this here because I have never worn an iron man nor a ronin. I have always worn century but just the standard 12oz stuff. I am hoping someone has some experience with these and could tell me if the ironman would be worth the extra money. This will not be my main gi but I need a new pair of black pants and figured I may as well go ahead and get a complete set. I was also debating a pair of shuriedo pants only, they run $105. What are your opinions on these options?

I'm partial to Century; I've a few ironman gi's; I love them through and through!!

I like my Ronin, but I haven't had an Ironman, myself. I have known several people--a couple of whom were previous instructors of mine--who swear by the Ironman gi against anything but Shureido. Personally, I think they're too short, but that could just be because of my height.
