Sales - Deffo!! DWH have a sale around November and there are some cracking bargains especially on the first morning (the earlier the better obviously).
Re material, as an ex-neoprene user now a membrane user, if you're going to dive "out of season" regularly I'd probably recommend another membrane as you can add lots more insulation than with a neopene which is usually more limiting, I can't imagine getting a Weezle on under a neoprene, unless you get a fairly loose one. I've dived all seasons in a neoprene and TBH in 4 degree water I'd always envied membraned divers.
One important point I would recommend though if you do get a neoprene, don't go for the "made to measure" as they are invariably a little on the "snug" side (my own experience, hence my comment above).
Plus having used both materials I can personally attest to the greater ease of buoyancy control with neoprene and decreased incidence of floaty feet due to lower volume of air in the suit (membranes aren't known as tea-bags for nothing!).
