I like the Light Infantry hats myself.

For making additional Airborne Rangers, I used Desert Scorpions.  The helmets and overall build is about the same.  I just snipped of the silencer on the barrels, gound off the scorpion on the shoulder pads, and put a small backpack on in place of the sword/scabbard.  After that, they fit in perfect with my existing ARs.
Back in my day we didn't have that fancy non-toxic pewter stuff.  We played with lead, LEAD I TELL YA! and we liked it.

My first Heavy Infantry figures finally arrived and I think I'm just going to buy another set of those and convert them to Airborne Rangers.  Again, they pretty much have the same equipment, so I think I'll just replace Heavy Infantry heads with 40K Cadians.

I like them. The Light infantry is amongst the coolest Capitol models if you ask me. It is a bit of a shame that everyone has the hats, though. It's like they were standard issue, part of the uniform. They probably fit better on the Rangers, but what the hey...

It's all just a matter of taste. I personally think the LI look great....
