Romulan - Fed or KDF? (redux)

(I realize that this topic may have been addressed now and again since 2013, but figured I'd bring it into contemporary terms)

The simple question is whether it's more advantageous to go Fed or KDF as a Romulan? The differences I can put together, so far, are:

Fed-
Better (IMO) from roleplaying standpoint, and it seems to make greater sense story-wise (reunification, Starfleet's general peacekeeping goal, etc)
Better HQ location (right between Alpha and Beta quadrants)
Greater variety of ship choice at lower levels, if one wants to venture away from warbirds

KDF-
Better quality of ship choice at lower levels (for a Tac/Eng captain, at least)
Easy availability of Plasmonic Leech console (which is what best mostly makes the comparison so close, in my mind)

Am I maybe looking at any of this wrong, or are there major points that I'm seemingly missing?

    Doffs. KDF versions of high-end doffs are usually (but not always) cheaper.

    On the other hand, Fed has Point defence System, which is nice while leveling and even after that useful on shuttles.

    If the leech is really the only thing deciding it for you, check the exchange -- with inf boxes dropping right now it's probably as cheap as it'll ever be (didn't check that myself.)
    ADD: Just checked -- less than 5 mil EC. Bought a few boxes right there for future use.

    If you want an Orion bikini squad for your away team then you must be justified and ancient, and stand by the KDF.



    KDF also has the Marauding missions for farming contraband, and lets you execute doffs that annoy you.
