There has to be a cost to building a heavy vehicle vs a light one. 
Armor still comes at a price to weight given a certain technology 
level. The armor does cost weight in the building scheme. It should 
slow a vehicle down regardless of tech level. To allow for better 
tech where armor is concerned, then you need to apply tech levels to 
armor in the system as well.
