The TE derived armor like the TE, TE2, AP and such were molded from a set of screen used armor. They represent everything a stormtrooper isn't. They show the asymetry, cadywompusness and flaws that make the stormtrooper beautifull. They look like what you saw in the movie. The Fx is a decent fan sculpt which is more idealized, symetrical and clean. It is good for trooping as they are very durable and will stand up to moderate abuse. They do not look very screen accurate to those that know better. Most of the general public wouldn't notice the differece. I do however, and the FX looks too perfect to me.. just doesn't look like the real deal like my TE armor does.
