What are the pros and cons of having a crawl suit over a ghillie with material all over?

This is all very easy to look up on the net. Try and find the US Sniper manual. Has great info in it on concealment and lots of other stuff.

Crawl suit:

Pros:
- Lightwieght (compared to full ghillie).
- Able to crawl in, low profile.
- Easy belt acces.

Cons:
- When standing up, less concealment when viewed frontal.
- Less concealment when kneeling.

Full Ghillie suit:

Pros:
- More concealment when standing up straight.
- More concealment when kneeling.
- Less chance to be noticed when viewed frontal.

Cons:
- Heavy(compared to crawlsuit).
- More bulky, can be hard to conceal that much fluffy jute and what not.(this may not be true but it is how I see a full suit.)
- No easy belt acces.
- Not able to crawl in, thus harder to move unseen.
- Needs vegetation on the front, which might be in the way when bending over.

There's probably a lot more, but this is what I could think of atm.

That's pretty much what I thought, I'd just like to get some opinions...well founded or not. In the area I usually play we go back and forth between woods and basically paintsoft in "urban" areas. I picked up a ghillie with the base garment being mesh instead of the mesh attached to a BDU so that I could just wear a flightsuit underneath and be able to more easily transition between being properly attired for sniper and DM roles.

Of course I'll probably pick up a crawl suit in the near future anyway since I'm a gear junkie.

Don't pick one up, make one yourself.

Makes you feel good when someone steps on you, means you made it correctly
