neoprene drysuit is basically a wetsuit with seals and a watertight zipper.

That is incorrect.

I have Typhoon compressed neoprene suit and it is not even close to what you describe.

I paid $500 brand new end of 2009 for it.

You are about my size. I got Typhoon TCS MB size. Got it from Divers Supply for $500.

No regret. I dive with sweatshirt and sweatpants in 44F water and am just fine.

Check out the Apollo 4.0! That's what I got and it's a workhorse!
