Weighting wetsuit to drysuit

OK, so after caving in to peer pressure I have finally relented and bought a Seaskin membrane drysuit and Fourth Element Arctics, just in time for the weather warming up.

Anyone got any idea as to the difference (if any) it will make to my weighting changing from a 7mm with 7mm jacket to the drysuit? I currently use about 12.5KG in puddles with the wetsuit but none at all in the pool with a 2mm shorty, but all the rest of the same kit on.

My hope is that I will be shedding some lead as that is an aweful lot of uncompressed neoprene especially in my size. But I remember Bouyant Babe saying she thought I might end up with MORE lead

Any idea's so I know how much lead to pack for tomorrow?
