Don't get me wrong, the Rexo has its uses. It's a great equipment hauler. So if you need storage space it's the armor for you. Thus it's great for snipers and AV infantry that need the ammo capacity. And having the 2 rifle holster slots is awesome.
But in closer ranged combat against other infantry the slowness of the armor will get you owned by faster opponents. The two key factors are that (1) you can't move out of the way fast enough if you need to and (2) since you are slower you are easier to hit. Combined these spell death more often then not.
Then there is the climbing and jumping reduced capacity as well. Both are based on speed so there are slopes you can't navigate in a Rexo and there are short objects you can't jump over in a Rexo that you can easily navigate in Agile armor. So it's not just raw speed it's your overall mobility that takes a hit too.
Rexo burns your stamina very quickly, so it's got this built in nerf to most of the implants. Also your inability to pilot most vehicles is a huge problem with the Rexo. The best part is that you get to spend 3 cert points for all these disadvantages.
IMHO the extra armor does not nearly compensate for all of the above.
For me the choice boiled down to these 2 cert "builds":
Agile/Mosquito (3 cert points) or
Rexo/ATV (5 cert points)
The combo with the free armor and mossy is superior is just about every way in terms of killing power, mobility, and speed. Why spend more and get less?
