You forget the cost. 65 resistances on a ber rune vs a set of 20/5s for 50 res. 20/5 set can cost upwards to 2000 fg where as CoH can easily be made with 15 fg for non ladder games. Not saying the first one is worse than CoH, but cost is usually factored into this. Imo, CoH is the item for sorceress mf builds who are just starting in the non ladder realms. If you're missing key ingredients, least this armor will fill several holes while you sell and trade for more. While enigma may be inherently better, the cost of building a sorc with a 20/5s, torch, anni, and whatnot may not be widely available. I use CoH in part cause I don't want to drop 3000 fg on a char who will occasionally do some chaos or Baal runs. CoH is cheap, offers basic needs, and is widely popular even in comparison to enigma. Makes it easy to sell and profit, even easier to buy.
The best argument I have with sorc and enigma is the massive str boost for spirit. But for the mf sorceress, those extra vitality points aren't too important if you can gear yourself properly and use the popular energy shield warmth skills. Then vitality is second to your build. Most people don't also want to drop 300 fg onto a mf sorc ladder when items rarely pay off more than 10 fg for decent ones like Shakos and other widely used gear.
