Agreed.

Which is why it would have been pretty useful to get guidelines in Cutting Edge Armor for when to apply a -1 DX penalty even for good-quality armour tailored to the user, when a higher DX penalty applied and at what thickness the armour simply would not allow mobility, even restricted.

I understand that it would realistically vary by material, but surely some rule-of-thumb benchmarks could have been provided, which were either consistent with published examples of armour load-outs or established a consistent system of its own which a GM desiring that kind of precision could use for all armour.
