Thruster suit question [Factorio Space Exploration] (feddit.de)

I just unlocked the thruster suit. Is it meant only for space or is it better than the power armor in general?

The only things I saw are that it has worse acid and explosion resistance, but it has 8x8 instead of 7x7 grid.

So I would probably want to wear this all the time for the bigger grid. Is that stupid, am I missing something?

If I remember correctly the power armor get's better quickly while you need to wait a long time for a thruster suit upgrade.

At least I remember that my furthest (sadly abandoned) SE run had me carrying both suits and changing when in space. There are also modules to reduce your need for oxygen and improve your thruster speed. But things like lasers, shields etc are useless in space...
