Default Should I purchase a full-length wetsuit?

I'm planning on diving the Kona Coast in late November-early December. I
know the water temp will be about 75-78F. I have sufficient "insulation" so
that I wear only a bathing suit in water to 78F and stay for about 1 hour.
I'm a weanie-warm-water diver so I'm not used to wearing any neoprene at
all. I have a 2/3 shortie. Knowing much of the diving off the Kona coast
is macro-related, is a shortie enough for repeat dives, i.e. 2-3 tanks per
day for 3-4 days or should I shell out for a full-length suit? I know
warmth is a subjective quality but is there anyone in cyberspace who shares
my thermal properties and can give me pointers?

TIA,

Jo
