Doubtful. Imagine a Spartan II and a Space Marine facing off. The Space Marine has the benefit of an incredible defense and fascinating weapons that i would kill to get my hands on. whereas the Spartan has better mobility, the benefit of an AI slotted into their nervous system through the helmet plug, which would supercharge their already supercharged CNS. Basically, the Aquila wasn't as great as the others not because its weak, but because its impractical and therefore less useful. Being protected is good, being protected and mobile is better. So, while the Aquila is incredibly protective, as i stated above, it has massive flaws.
