In example: A 5% reduction in speed for the enhanced armor plates would result in the full a %5 reduction to the medium and light frames (which one could argue are not "built" to support additional armor plating) but would only be a x.x% (2.5%; 3.0%; etc.) reduction in speed for heavies (which could be argued *are* built to support the additional armor plating).

This would give some love to the heavies - who I see as being penalized for playing the way their suits are meant to be played.
This would have no additional impact to medium frames (with the exception that their heavy friends/enemies are half/a quarter/xxx as slow as they were before).
