The helmet visibility toggle was a bad decision in my mind - so you have a point about that breaking immersion.
But even toggling visibility of a helmet is far different from magically transforming all your gear into holograms.

Still, the Dev's have said they don't want a Vanity system, and I agree, so this thread is moot.
You guys are better off asking for (or making) a client-side, dat-swap add-on if you hate looking at your own gear so much.
