By forgoing Heavy armor, you'll effectively take a -1 AC penalty in the end, if you have a Dex of 14 at least, but you will get no stealth penalty and higher initiative, so it has its trade offs. I'm a rather lenient DM, and I'd be willing to give a little something to "give up" your heavy armor proficiency, since you aren't getting anything out of it with a Dex of 14.
Not that you can't use the heavy armor with a Dex of 14; then you're getting better Dex saves and Initiative, which can be nice, but I'd probably rather have the higher HP and Con saves. I think Con is overpowered, though, only because it feels too bad to have it be low.
