Point to note: they were MACO armor derivatives. Helmet and chest piece (IRRC) were new but the base suit was from the Borg rep.

They do look amazing. I wish we could get them, also as a costume unlock. Would be great for a Hazard Team EV suit.
It would be nice if we got EV-suit variants for rep armors that should by all rights act as EV-suits due being fully sealed (basically all but the iconian ones) and before KDF mains come to whine I see no faction difference here the HG armor has gorget and a fully sealed helmed as part of it so it's no different from the MACO set as far as funtion as an EV suit is conserned.
Maybe have those as unlockbles when you've gotten the full set. And why I think the Iconian rep armor wouldn't count as an EV-suit is because it has an open face mask rather then a fully closed helm.

I think the main reason we don't get clear visors is because most of the EV suits with locked helmets cause lots of clipping with the head, as seen when you speak with D'Tan after discovering the Iconian Gate on New Romulus.
They were able to get away with it here and with Kal Dano because the helmets were a seperate entity from the suit, and thus able to move with the head. Another issue we might get is the sheer number of irregular head shapes and sizes.

Also the Delta Rep armor has no helmet of any kind
Love the clear face mask, so you can see the characters inside.
Hope we get an option to obtain them at some point.
