755 vs. 852:
- Less bulky vs. more bulky
- Very good chest protection vs. excellent chest protection
- not great arm protection vs. excellent arm protection
- lighter vs. heavier
- great arm mobility vs. good arm mobility
- excellent overall mobility vs. very good overall mobility

I have both units but I use the 852 more because of the better arm protection although I prefer the mobility of the 755. Comes down to priorities: more mobility vs. less protection.

I play "low level" beer league but some of those guys can blast a puck...
