: You are right Shawn it is a big bullet to bite. But ...
Worthwhile.
: If one has a breathable dry top and you are sealed with the spray skirt will
: you stay just as dry?
Pretty much. But you don't always stay in the boat...this is where the drysuit comes in handy.
You can wear a drytop over a farmer john for immersion protection, which is good to fairly low temperatures...but the FJ is still clammy and a little restrictive.
: Or is there inevitably water sneaking into the boat?
A little...depends on your tunnel and coaming seals. That's not a big issue.
: Is a full on dry suit just more convenient?
Oh yes! With booties, the only things that get wet are your face and hands. It's lovely!
