This is the way i look at it, for starters both suits you have mentioned are really good suits, so i dont think the quality will be that much of an issue
good suits will show there worth during a crash , one you will be fine and two you will still be able to use the suit, a decent suit will be good for a couple of crashes, just ask tchan

i think a decent suit will last at least 4-5 crashes and still provide excellent protection
personally i dont mind riding in crashed leathers, the poser factor doesnt mean too much to me, scuffed leathers show that you ride and dont just sit in coffee houses
just remember when you on the track and your FLASH, you have to back that up by being FAST
thats why im not flash
