I didn't have a problem in 72F water - just skip the hood and gloves.
Exposure protection is a personal thing. I use the xm450 when doing a 90 minute dive in 40 degree water. Doing a 90 minute dive in 70 degree water - I'd use the jumpsuit 150.
I think in the 450 - you'll be overheated, sweat excessively (dehydrating), and a have to manage a much more buoyant exposure suit.

^ Yes, dehydration and excessive buoyancy would be the issues. An Underarmour Heat Gear base layer with a medium Polartec or generic poly mid layer might be more comfortable.
