Hi Tasia,
welcome to RAT! I think you will eventually have to make up your mind which way to go with your equipment (well, you could of course have two sets, one for SCA events and one more on the historical side).
If you want to do a historical recreation of a roman soldier I think the first thing to do is NOT to buy/build something, but rather to read. A lot :-) )
I have the impression that many people when buying/building something copy what they have seen somewhere and looks more or less ok (sometimes less) instead of putting a little effort into research of their own. Just name any piece you want to do, ask for references here and I'm sure there will be someone to name the relevant sources.
