That's different. You get type 1 of alpha and type 2 of alpha.
Alpha and beta are more about stats than appereance, iirc the other one is for when the armour doesn't have two stat variants.
Regardless of the stats or the sign each one has their type and 2 style, and you can wear whichever regardless of gender. It makes for cooler set opportunities.
Most companies in Spain pay you a health insurance here so that it pays you the rest of your salary. (Besides free private doctor consultations and other stuff).
