High/Ultra-Tech Versions of Low-Tech Armor

Which should I go with?

The rules High-Tech has for them, or what Low-Tech II has?

I'm almost tempted to do both since that's the only way to have a Very Hard Steel (TL7) Cuirass be closer to a HT Corselet in weight and cost.

Without using both, the Cuirass is DR10, costs $2520 and weighs 25.2lbs. By halving the cost and weight, it's then $1260 and 12.6 pounds. The Steel Corselet is DR10, costs $600 and weighs 12 pounds. Both offer the same coverage (Torso).

But I don't think the HT rules on steel armor were made with LT II in mind.
