Per Micheal Artindale:
I have seen a one piece for around $800. I can get a 2 piece for about
$400.

Suggestions?

What's the 2-piece? Farmer john bottom, dry top with a rollover
gasket at the waist? Or something else?

is simmular to the dry tops i am looking at. The dry bottom is not the
farmer john type, it is like a pair of trousers.

Gaskets are at the waist, neck, wrist and ankle openings. I think I have
seen a pair of bottoms that had attatched socks.

One of the big advantages of 1-piece dry suits is the elimination of
multiple waistbands that can feel like they're cutting you in half.
Additionally, you don't have to spend a lot of time mating the waist
seals and such as you do with a 2-piece setup. The dry bottoms that I've
seen have all been made of non-breathable fabrics and none of them had
attached waterproof socks. Both of these things, along with a relief
zipper, are important requirements for a dry suit system, IMO.
