Here is my $.02 to the drysuit price question. 

The first cold morning you wake up in camp and instead of putting 
on a frozen solid wetsuit, slip some fleece on over your pajamas 
and put on a drysuit any costs associated with it are forgotten. 


I got mine about six years ago. I take care of it and it looks almost 
new - even after lots of usage. Neoprene is great, the first day.
If you are on an extended trip man is that stuff stinky cold and 
uncomfortable. 

Interestingly, I think I have the only drysuit in the Netherlands.
People are quite intrigued by it here. In Minnesota, in the cold 
months you rarely see a person paddling without one, seems to be 
the first thing people buy their second or third season paddling.
