It's not as warm and over time the buoyancy is more consistent, as it's already compressed
The advantage I suppose is that a new wetsuit is as buoyant as your old one.
I don't like it myself... I'd rather it stay thick and warm for as long ad possible and info have to add a lb or two initially and reduce my weighting over time, I will.
I know a Freediver that when he gets a new suit will put it in a bag and send it down to -40m for several hrs to compress it himself.
To each his own.
