    Coming back, new Wingsuit for BASE recommendations please

    Posting here in beginners forum in hopes of getting sincere replies.

    Anybody willing to help an old-guy come back to the light?
    I’m coming back after a nearly 4 year aeroplane jumping hiatus and there have been significant changes in WS gear while I've been away.
    I have ~ 7K jumps, most of them CReW, maybe 850 FF, 1000 Fixed Object Jumps (FOJ).
    I miss flying in Norway so I’m going to get current again with primary goal of going back to Euro and flying the cliffs.
    I have / had ~ 80 aeroplane and 63 Fixed Object WS jumps, all on a Birdman Classic 2.
    I’m turning to you to get some opinions on what is the “best” / wisest choice in buying a new WS.
    I’m a short / stocky guy, 65” tall / 142 pounds with no gear so not ultra aero.
    I’m pretty conservative in gear choice, would willingly give up some flight performance to reduce WS complexity and provide extra margin of safety during FOJ.
    No back flying, no flocking, just looking for a noticeable improvement over the Classic 2.

    Thanks
    Craig
