Eh perhaps I need to elaborate. I don't have an opinion on the armor vs helmet selections, or whether helmets should be buffed. My point is simply that at the very top end, "just" 2 points of armor is a very big deal -- for starters, potentially worth millions of gold -- and should not be discounted lightly when you compare Grinder vs. Fearsome.
If that were a determining factor, then the Worm Bane should be buffed hugely since it's objectively inferior to its alternatives despite its enormous price tag, and so should Christmas Hats selling for tens or even hundreds of thousands, and many other examples of serious price vs power discrepancies. In the end though, market prices fluctuate constantly and are simply reflective of supply and demand, and thus should not factored in while discussing buffs or nerfs to items.
