Dismounted Boyar Sons vs. Dismounted Druzhina

[Anonymous II]

OK, I'm having a hard time finding out if there are any differences between these two units besides their clothing?

They both use axe and have the exact same statistics, just have a look:

Dismounted Boyar Sons (http://totalwar.honga.net/unit.php?v=m2tw&f=russia&d=Dismounted_Boyar_Sons)
Dismounted Druzhina (http://totalwar.honga.net/unit.php?v=m2tw&f=russia&d=Dismounted_Druchima)

There is one slight difference that has made me prefer the Druzhina, and that is the fact that there are more available of them. Dismounted Boyar Sons can be recruited from fortress at max. available 3, while Dismounted Druzhina are recruited from Barracks at max. available 4. For retraining after battles, I find the latter unit to be more practical to go for.

Any opinions?

And they both have the same stats as Dismounted Dvor, except the Dvor are also archers and so more expensive.

Dismounted Druchima get an extra 2 points when upgrading their armour, Dismounted Boyar Sons only get an extra 1 point.
