So basically, the new armor is just to make you stand out from rest of the crowd? Okay, thank you.

I'm a noob at lvl 25 and I have been wondering about one thing: I finished a Heroic quest and I got a new custom armor as a reward. When I removed all the augs of both the old armor (which I got way back in Coruscant) and the new armor, the new one doesn't offer any advantage at all. So what is the point of getting new armor if you can just keep your augs up-to-date? I'm sorry if my English is confusing.
