Is Windigo better than Molten Platinum Vest or am I missing something?

[Nep]

Almost every heat mech in the top player uses MPV. But I use it too and when I go against a Windigos they always seem to have more hp, heat and everything.
So I looked up the stats (I don't know if these are correct, at least I checked the legendary MPV ones and they are) and Windigo seems to be better in every stat except for phy resistance?. But I don't think 25 resistance is enough to compensate all of the other stats, right?
Why is it that everyone uses MPV?

This stat table is a bit outdated.

Vests are generally better since they have more effective health thanks to resistance, while the minor elemental stats are negligible because of combined modules.

Ohh thanks, that makes more sense now
