Actually, more undergarments = more air, fundamentally, so more 
bouyancy.  Maybe no exactly 1:1, but all the same.

What works on long dives is relatively cold water for me is 400g + thin 
capilene, which will work w/ 104's, cannister light, and no v-weight, or 
95's and a small v-weight.   Pretty standard, actually.

Dry gloves and a rebreather help, too :-)
