I have a couple skimpy tanks that are on the 5-6 yard range and absolutely love them when it is hot out. I also have a couple wool/PV blends that are both handsewns that behave very good and I've used for many occasions. I like the slim lines of them for day wear. Like you said I think the proof is in the material used. If it doesn't have considerable weight and swish it doesn't even come close to a tank.
