What do you mean by importance? Importance to what?Question: If you dived with a thick wetsuit and lots of weights, but no BCD to add BCD air to the question: With the 7 mil farmer john you have 14 mil on the core area and 7 mil on extremeties. At 33' (10m) your torso is now at 7 mil and extremeties at 3.5 mil. Now do the areas where more weight is attached become more important. Ei.- do the weights take on more importance as the difference between thicker and thinner wetsuit areas decreases?
Note that neoprene isn't all gas and so isn't subject to Boyle's Law. Only the gas trapped within the neoprene gets compressed, which is only part of the neoprene material. So at 33', your 14 mm won't be down to 7 mm, but it might be 10 or 12 mm thick (random numbers because I don't know how much it really compresses).
