I was of that opinion initially and still would be if Hasbro did a better job with raised clothing accents (trims, straps, buckles..etc). I think it was VashTS that initially called my attention to the lack of this element for some of the new Marvel Legends (forgive me if I'm citing you incorrectly, Vash - that is, if you even read this comment). When I remarked earlier that ToyBiz and Hasbro have different things they excelled at, this was one of the elements to which I was alluding. ToyBiz did a great job of making many figs look unique. The figs often featured molding that was costume-specific to characters and the details were sculpted on rather than painted. Hasbro has done a great job (post relaunch) with consistent joint articulation and greater body symmetry (among other improvements), but their sculpted costume work needs to be stepped up a bit.

With Gamora, I prefer the 'space bikini, it represents my favorite run of GotG (abnett & lanning). That said, I'm not sure Hasbro will do that particular costume justice. While Hasbro was able to get away with a form fitting painted-on costume with Satana (that is generally how her costume looks), I'm not sure that the same technique will work with Gamora. That costume is trickier than one might think with boots and gloves that need sculpting, the placement of various skulls, and a hooded cape that could easily get botched (hood up? hood down? - potential nightmare). Hasbro implements some molded costume elements well, but that extra effort seems to be reserved for Cap ('Now' and all movie renditions) - Ironman - Thor - and some outliers like Black Cat/Ghost. Gamora's Bendis armor has grown on me and I'm thinking that making that version would ensure that they give her a respectable level of molded detail...
