Romulan or Reman prototype set help

My main Romulan character is a tac, currently flying a tactical Scimitar. I'll be completing the romulan rep on that character very soon, and I was going to get one of the prototype sets for it, but which one would be better for the character Romulan or Reman?
I mostly do PvE and STFs along with the story missions(I do not PvP at all) and I have no access to fleet or very expensive equipment(shoestring budget)

I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.
I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.
It is not a simple matter of cosmetics. Do people read stats anymore??? For most parts the stats are practically the same, but a few very subtle but absolutely crucial changes.
For reference:
Reman Prototype Set
Romulan Prototype Set
Again, the stats are very similar but the differences lie in these:
1. Cosmetic (obviously)
2. Reman engine boosts Starship Maneuvers, making people miss you more. Romulan engine boosts Starship Attack Patterns, making your Attack Patterns Alpha, Beta, Delta, Omega better.
3. Romulan Deflector has a 2% Starship Stealth Detection bonus. This is more a PVP thing. If PVP is your thing and you are trying to detect cloaked ships, this bonus is a HUGE deal, next to Aux Power and Science Vessels / Carriers IRT detection. It is the exact same bonus that the Jem'Hadar Mk XII Deflector has, and that is quite capable in detecting cloaked ships. I'll also refer you to another thread discussing detection in heavy detail.
IMO, for a Warbird captain maximizing cloaks and timed attack buffs, the Romulan version of the set is the way to go. This is especially true for Tac Captains. This is esp. true if you have interest in making a "snooper" build and finding cloaked ships to shoot at.
Man, hope you really didn't do that and make the acquisition.
The shields are different too, the Romulan one have a higher regen and the Reman one higher capacity.
Of course once the new season goes live this discussion will be pointless since we'll be able to mix and match pieces.
Yes, they're on Tribble test server already. Buffed shield capacity, and there's now hull boosting in the deflectors for more tanking. The 3-piece bonus in now part of the shield by itself, both Romulan and Reman parts are part of the same set now so you can mix in the Romulan engines for the Attack Patterns buff and use the Reman shields for the look.
Also, there is no Mk X/XI versions in the Reputation post Season 9, so make sure you get Mk XII as the lower Mk ones won't be buffed.
I haven't yet. I just finished the rep day before yesterday and I need a few more marks to get the set.
I have the Reman set up in the rep section, but with no resources allocated, so I can cancel easily.
As for PvP I just don't, never did, so cloak detection is less of a concern for me. (I just never cared for competitive multiplayer content, I prefer single-player or cooperative multiplayer.)
I'll rethink things here and might do the mix and match when season 9 hits
