Undersuit with Outer Edge drysuit

Im looking into buying my first drysuit and while im still deciding on either neoprene or membrane (have only dived membrane before) the leading neoprene option is the Outer Edge.
My question is related to the undersuit to be used with it, has anyone used the undersuit that can be bought as a package with it? Im a little worried as it is described as a thin undersuit and wondered if it is a special sized one to work with the suit? Otherwise have been very impressed by the Weazel undersuits and had been considering investing in one to make sure the cold was kept at bay

I have worn the suit and undersuit when I tried it on at Lids. I wouldn't say it was a special size... it is a thinner suit, but you can always use another undersuit instead, as long as its not a really thick wooley bear you should be fine.
The thin undersuit was bl00dy warm when I tried it on!

Having just had a chat with the guy at Sports Components (manufacturers of the OUter Edge suit), I asked about this as I didn't want to buy a suit that fit well with the suit in summer, but which you can't get a thicker undersuit on in, and his recommendation (that he uses himself) was to use the standard undersuit, just with the very thin thermals that you can get.

Hope that helps.
