your math is wrong. There is a chart with the values above. If you have a frame with 300 HP and 150 base armor, a max level steel fiber will give you precisely 1245 effective HP and cost you 14 mod points.

A max vitality mod is only 10 mod points and give you +440%. For a frame with 300 HP, that is 1620 effective health. Not only that but vitality increases your effective HP more at every step in the mod progression and costs only a fraction of the mod value. Furthermore, vitality doesn't have the caviat of "unless you are fighting a Toxic Ancient" to boot.

Additionally, Steel Fiber does not have the same synergy with a Rage build because the reduced damage also reduces your energy return (if that were a concern for anyone).

So, I repeat - at no point is steel fiber more effective than vitality. The only reason to use steel fiber is if you are using it in conjunction with a maxed vitality mod. But even then, you only have so much space in your mod loadout. I am not sure why anyone would want to do both of these at the same time.
