-My one piece fits and feels much better(two piece has the connection zipper and the overlap from the jacket to pants that can be annoying in a crouch. I've been on the bike for 3 hours straight and I only notice it when I stop for a minute or two to stretch out and have a smoke)
-Safer, as mentioned before a lot of two piece suits connect via the lining of the jacket and not leather to leather
-I'm never tempted to compromise safety by wearing just the jacket
-Lastly, about looking funny or weird, I could give a crap about what other people think. It's your skin not there's!!! Your skin is the largest organ your body has, and I'm gonna do my damnedest to protect it.

Thanks Adam, that's good feedback.
Regarding being conscious of how I look while riding, I was simply trying to avoid looking like a total squid (if that's the correct term) by wearing a suit made for the track while joyriding on weekends or taking a long trip on the bike. My concern being that I would look like a guy going sledding in a spandex GS ski suit. In other words, complete overkill and horribly unnecessary to the point of being comical.
