*Yet* another Duress question

Ok, I'm not a rich gamer by any stretch ..

I have managed to get the Um I need for Duress, and being my only Um, and being that Duress is the last thing I need for my barb, I want to make sure I don't blow it in a crappy piece of armor. I don't really care how it looks on my barb :uhhuh: .

I can get 3 os Archon plate with 490def .. is that worth the runes? Since my barb has pretty high str I could wait for a 3 os superior lacqured plate or sacred armor with 600+ base def .. but is the def difference really that much when push comes to shove? I PvM only, no PvP at all.

Also, I realize that medium reduces run speed by 5%, and heavy by 10%, but is that *really* that much of a liablility?

Thanks.
