22nd Century - M.A.C.O. Uniform Feedback (Yes I bought it)

As the title says I bought the uniform because I have the dilithium and I was bored and here is my feedback for all of you who are thinking of buying it.
The uniform in general is great I really like it but the following things needs to be addressed.
1.) Nor the 22nd or 25th Century M.A.C.O. logos are available to the put on the left shoulder
2.) The rank emblem and the second M.A.C.O. logo is also not available for the left shoulder
3.) The zippers should when you change their color not look like slightly tinted but a strong opaque color.
4.) The belt carrying the equipment should be black.
5.) The belt for holding the trousers (the red one) is is covered by the top of the uniform which is not the case in the show.
6.) Available Enterprise Badges (I know they did not had them) are clipping and are not visible.
7.) The biggest issue and I know this is not the fault of the costume designers is that the M.A.C.O. Rifle and Pistol are not available to the player.
Last but not least my opinion of the uniform:
I like it but for the price of 1.7 Million Dilithium and something that is NOT an account unlock you have to do better and please fix it.

Copy a character over to Tribble and go to Drozana and fill up on Dil there. I did so to look longingly at the TWoK captains uniform I'll never buy because some pillock accondently put it in the Dil store and is too embarrassed to put it back in the C-Store where it belongs.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Indeed!
This uniform is exceptionally well done. The only real issue is with the rank and badge options. Everything else is the most screen accurate I've seen done in STO, the artists really did a great job with this one! The belt and zipper claims, in particular, I don't understand since the zippers can be recolored and the belts match my reference images. It might be an issue under different lighting?
The new TWOK outfits are also fantastic, and just about the most perfect canon uniforms they've made for the game thus far. I've wanted those in the game since I started playing in beta.
I'd buy each and every one of these uniforms for a very high price on the C-store if they were available there, but as it is, I adamantly refuse to buy them for Dilithium due to the fact that they're not account unlocks.
With 8 alts, I can barely collect enough Dil to support the upgrades and such for each toon.
As a dilithium sink, and as a means to control the dil/zen exchange, I think the fact that it's barely made a dent in the prices there (I've only seen 1 player wearing a TWOk vest in the game since they launched, and I've been on for at least 6 hours every day - grinding out dilithium during the bonus event),
I'm hoping that they'll rethink things, and adjust the pricing (giving those few players that purchased them already something in compensation of course). Even making them account unlocks would make these uniforms more attractive to players in my opinion. I know I'd be more willing to spend the dilithium to buy them if that were the case.
It's ture they can change the color, bad wording on my side but they are unable to match the exact color like in this picture above they only look like "tinted" and don't get the real color.
Here are some picture of the uniform and the belt "looks" like to be black.
I also just noticed that the red belt in the trousers is covered by the top of the uniform which is not the case in the show.
This uniform has some major flaws and I hope that they will be fixed.
