Consider: The proposed - A Dwarf’s MA is now 8.
• Cloth MA = 8;
• Leather MA = 6;
• Chainmail (& onward) = 4

But a dwarf in chain at MA=4 seems a bit unplayable. If you do reduce Dwarf MA to 8, please allow the dwarf’s double carrying capacity to keep dwarfs with chainmail (or more) to maintain MA = 6 ...

Oh, yeah, I was thinking more like:
Dwarf:
• Cloth MA = 8;
• Leather MA = 8;
• Chainmail (& onward) = 6
Because yes, MA 4 is awful, and it makes sense to me that if dwarves are so great at carrying things, they're probably slowed less by armor (they can carry more, and smaller suits weigh less anyway - I'm used to it working out about this way in GURPS already).
Elves in original ITL already have:
• Unarmored MA = 12;
• Cloth/Leather MA = 10;
• Chainmail (& onward) = 6
