I guess the only question is weather to get a straight 7mm suit, or some farmer john setup? I like the farmer johns but hate the bulk and additional weight you need to add.

Do you find the 7mm is too warm when the temps are in the mid - high 60's??
Definitely not. I own a 3 mil and a 7 mil wetsuits. I once dove in my 3 mil in 72 degree water and was cold towards the end of the dive. I wear the 7 mil all summer and add a hooded vest and gloves when I know the water temp is going to be below 65 degrees. I'd much rather be a little warm than a little cold.

I have found that my 1 piece X-Flex 7 mil wetsuit is really comfortable, especially when combined with a Lycra skin which makes getting into and out of the wetsuit really easy. As previously mentioned, add a hooded vest for colder water comfort.
