Default Wetsuit for a Very Tall Guy

I am 6'7" and about 205 lbs. Can you other tall-thinner guys let me
know your opinions with fitting wetsuits. I have been trying a
variety of sizes and brands by repeated mail-order which is getting
rather old. So far, QR fits this body type best, IMHO.

Obeying most advice, I have been trying to size by weight rather than
height. But this often winds up with me having a real challenge
getting the shoulders up. Should I go to an XL even though the weight
range is often over my 205 lbs.?

THX
