Default Suspension on PWCs

Looking at purchasing my first PWC. I'm looking at the 2012 Seadoo GTX S 155, which has a suspension. That caught my eye.... since I'm in my late 50s and the body can handle what it use to. What are opinions on the suspensions? Do they work?

PM Outlaw. I think he has ridden one with the suspension. From what I've heard, it works OK in light chop, but bottoms out in rough water, and may actually make the ski harder to ride. Plus it's something else to break.

+1, My RXT-iS is more of a touring suspension not a watercross suspension and it will become a Pogo stick in real rough water at speeds in excess of 35 mph
