The Katarn-Class Commando armor is known to be able to withstand incredibly powerful blasts from blasters and turbolasers (which are more close to Covvie weaponry, being super-magnetically charged plasma bolts) and being just fine, whereas the MJOLNIR Mark V has been seen to take fire from weaponry far less powerful and straight up MELTING off of the person's body. Along side that, it's been shown that the MJOLNIR armor can't take much damage from grenades and explosives, whereas the Katarn-Class Commando armor (especially the later 2 variants) were designed to minimize explosive damage in the form of a particle-based deflector shield.
The weaponry the Spartans use have been shown to be no where near as powerful as you're saying. Possibly the most powerful weapon in their standard loadout was the Sniper Rifle, and even then, it's not even close to the DC17M. While the effective range of each side's weaponry falls in favor of the Spartan's projectile based rifles, the DC17M has the versatility and the power to back it up, being much more powerful at those closer ranges. The Spartans just don't carry around enough firepower to count against the DC17M's versatility.
