The characters I converted from 3e to 4e and then updated their armor from Basic Set to Low Tech were straight conversions.
If the 3e character had x then the 4e character got it too.
Even if the change in point or G$ cost would make the character impossible or illegal if made new by exceeding the starting points or starting wealth.
Looking at a couple of them, I'd definitely not make the same armor choices due to costs because the starting wealth would have meant not being able to afford it.
In some cases, there's a better option for less money and, thanks to Basic Set armor being unrealistic, less weight.
The armor in Low Tech is very well researched against historical examples and you really begin to understand why some armors are so well represented in the archaeological history. You also see why some armors are only found in Royal collections...
Still, it's great fun!
