I usually play Cinematic too, Alan... but I've specialized in using 
high-manoeuverability fleets with heavy (F)-arc armaments for the past 
eight years or so, which may skew my opinion <g>

In Vector, where the KV get to fire their main gun more often, 5 armour
to 
20 hull is definitely too much.

10 armour to 20 hull only works against K-guns if you have Phalon-style 
multi-layered armour, and that's true in both movement systems.
