my wife and I seem to have the same problem. I am nearly the same weight and
height as you, my wife is a foot shorter. Her main problem is that the
arms and legs of the underwear are too long. The legs of my underwear are
too short.

I too am interested in replacing the underwear. I don't have any comment
on the two peice underwear because I've never tried it, however you may
be interested in knowing that there is a Dive shop in St. Catherines Ont.
that builds their own thinsulate underwear to order. I recall the price
being quite reasonable.
The name of the shop is Ed's Pro Dive, phone 905 646 1481 

I just got new neck and wrist seals installed on my wife's DUI suit from
Ed's and the price was less than half what DUI wanted and he had the suit
back to me in 7 business days.

The opposite of a correct statement is a false
statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may
well be another profound truth.
