I thought the top one had 1 point more in something. Not sure though, if you click on the units in campaign you dont get all the info. Perhaps someone could post the unit cards?

Yeah, the Medians have 11 morale, while the eastern ones only 10.

The other stats are practically identical

No. The other stats ARE identical. Not just practically. Exactly.

But don't take our word for it:

Median Stats (http://europabarbarorum.heimstatt.net/index.php?mp=unit&unit=eastern%20cavalry%20mada%20asabara&text=median&ownership=any&class=any&category=any)

Medium Eastern Stats (http://europabarbarorum.heimstatt.net/index.php?mp=unit&unit=eastern%20cavalry%20medium%20generic&text=medium%20eastern&ownership=any&class=any&category=any)

By that i ment the recruitment zones. You don't need to be such a toothpick

I'd go for Asabaran i-Madaen. They look cooler, in my opinion.

[Cute Wolf]

I think personally, Asiatikoi Hippeis is better, because they are available as mercenary too...

In that case, which is better if OP's faction can recruit the Median horse? Is the Median better because he gets higher morale for the same price? or is the alternative better because of its vast area of recruitment + its merc option? (Of course, mercs are rather expensive...)
