To begin with they aren't really supermen in battle, you know. True they do nicely in melee - but not exactly exceptional. One gets faaar better bang for the buck in Thrakia or India. Or just stick with about every (elite) phalanx unit...
EDIT: In any case they are outclassed by Kuarothoroi or Solduros or various Champion units from the Casse also.
