Augments are counted seperately and are a slot of their own (which is why AF2+2 work).
I would have no problems with AF4 using the "augment" slots for a permament stat instead, if it'd allow us to properly fusion the early AF sets into something classic-FF looks with Adoulin level stats.

It's basically the Chatoyant Staff of armor we're talking about here.
