The only problem is the standard armor has to be leaky. It's a small tradeoff, but I really like the stock armor.
Stock "magic wall" armor is extremely boring. It prevents a lot of randomness in combat, which I think is a bad thing.

The main problem of leaky armor is that it ADD a lot of random, wich I think is a bad thing. I have a lot a chance, and often I win Adamant game against my friend (not PBW) out of chance - that's why leaky armor is not that intersting for me.

A good armor system will incorporate both leaky and standard armor. Leaky armors to give the best hitpoint/kT ratios, with a standard armor providing essentially a hitpoint/kT but the hit first ability. This allows a typical design to handle a modest hit or two before internals become vulnerable.
