MT's armour isn't linear either. It's the same as Strikers up to 40, and
is then the same from 41 upwards. TNE/FF&S is the linear one. However,
it just so happens that Striker uses actual armour thickness in its
design rules (so does MT, but it doesn't tell us this and calls it
'Armor Table modifier'). FF&S uses material toughness numbers that are
twice Strikers, so conversion of FF&S materials not mentioned in Striker
is also easy. Price is also easy - it's the same in both. MT's prices
and weights are significantly different, so unless you're trying to
exactly match a MT vehicle in Striker, I'd take the armour type from MT
and just use its Striker or FF&S stats.
I do like MT's chargen, skill & task system, and personal combat system,
but boy, oh boy did MT make a mess of a lot of other crunch (even
ignoring the huge amounts of errata).
