Well, what do you know? The BOT has tested various cartridges versus layered armor. Are the SR armor layering rules realistic?

I'm no expert but it looks like from the test that layering trauma plates is more effective than layering soft vests. Three vests without the trauma plates was still punched through by a 5.56 round but on the other hand a 7.62 round striking the plates was actually stopped.
