I need some clarification on this one!

I've got a bunch of bronze armor stacked up in the bank that I haven't been
wearing because the items that it replaces have magical bonuses (barbed
leggings and barbed arms for a +2 to DEX and to AGI), Bloodstained Mantle,
etc. The weight increase vs. the minimal AC increase has kept me in a mix of
magic/banded.

Am I to understand that putting on a bunch of bronze for an AC increase of
around 8 or 10 pts is going to make a big big difference in mob damage?
