I like Hasbro's Sightline figure with two reservations.
I don't like Joes with completely concealed faces (except for Snake-Eyes, of course). This is just a "good guys vs. bad guys" dramatic device for me. Many collectors have no problem with it, but I don't like it. The best solution is simply to include alternate heads. Even if the Hasbro figure had the mask pulled down enough to show off Sightline's nose and mouth (think Tripwire), it would have been enough to keep me happy.
The camouflage color set (mostly greys) seems too "Firefly". Given that the Hasbro set includes a Hiss and its crew decked out in a rust hue, Sightline's uniform is even more out of place.
My design is to put Sightline in a more desert-themed uniform, but keeping the contoured body armor grey for some continuity with the Hasbro figure. Additionally, I have the mask pulled down worn as a neck wrap.
