I did the math for those still having doubts about Nuevo corselette beating haubergeon +1.
You want to put STR+5 DEX+5 VIT+5 accuracy +10 store TP+4 on your corselette, and get rid of hachiman hands or feet, thus getting +3% haste to your set up...
You'll get 2-3 less acc and 13-14 less attack than a hauby +1; the acc loss is not a big deal if you have good acc gear in other slots, and the attack loss won't matter much as 10 attack is almost nothing in a 600+ attack situation (minuet /war). It will be in any case worth trading for 3% haste to your melee speed.
You get a 3% haste boost to your melee and ws speed, compared to the previous standard set up with hauby + hachiman feet.
There is a small draw back: you have to change your WS set up.
For your five melee hits you'll use rajas ring, brutal earring and nuevo corselette as stp pieces, plus the 25 from trait, and 10 from merits, that's 45 stp.
11.5*1.45=16.6 TP/hit.
Five melee hits = 5* 16.6=83 TP.
Your WS blow needs then to give 17TP at least. In other words you need +48 stp on your WS set up, which is 13 stp from gear. You'll use rajas and brutal, so you need to use something else that gives you 7stp.
You have to use hachiman feet and body (or their HQ). But there are many other options ( worse though) that can include carbonara, askar corazzin, chiv. chain etc.
You'll loose 1-3 STR ( more with askar etc) on your WS, but get 3% haste in ws speed... Assuming you use turban, swift belt, byakkos, fumas and dusk ( 20% haste in gear), hasso, march haste, that's 56% haste. Moving from 53% to 56% haste is equivalent to 6.8% boost to your WS and melee damage ( (1-0.53)/(1-0.56)=1.068).
This clearly wins and hauby +1 is now obsolette for sam, just like homam body became obsolette for thf.
Note1: if you melee in a chivalrous chain, then each melee hit will give you 16.7 tp. 5 melee hits give you 83.5 TP, so you need 16.5 TP from WS blow, or 9 stp from gear. In which case you can keep osode on WS and use hachiman feet+1 for no str loss.
Note2: if you have usukane feet, hauby+1 is also obsolette. Simply because meleeing in nuevo + usu feet, will give you just enough stp to be able to use sword strap w/o losing your 6-hit ( same if you have usu body too): you'll get 16.8tp/ melee hit, and need only 16.0 from your ws blow, which will be easilly done with rajas + brutal + hachimam feet(+1).
