I bought mine at REI http://www.rei.com/product/722193
If you are in no hurry wait for a sale and ship to store for free.
NRS sells them from there site and I have seen them in the Good Deals section.

I was also looking into these Farmer johns. I never owned a wetsuit and not shure whats the best fit to look for?
 Should they fit skin tight or a little loose?

I own the Grizzly... it's a great farmer john... I like it very much.  The big thing for me is that it isn't as tight in the ankles as others have been so my legs don't take punishment from too much compression down there during the day.  Very comfy in the seated position as well due to the stretchy neoprene in the seat.

I have the griz and its fine for us larger guys.  Unlike KZ my ankles are not the problem.  I have a long torso ( and big gut) relative to my height so needed to use strap extenders to keep the over the shoulder straps from being too tight.

 All wetsuits should fit snug, not tight, but snug.
