I would argue that most "Hellenic" units are in fact the copies of other units. Or perhaps there are no such things as "unit copies." I believe Carthage gets some medium and some heavy Iberian cavalry, as well as the Citizen and Phoenician cavalry units. They're available if a person wishes to get cavalry units.
I like clone-armies for professional armies are based upon such model (like all wearing the same uniform), while a mix of some rabble is a sign of lack of unity.
Has it crossed your mind that this is probably because people are looking for a false unity that's nonexistent? Unity is a really convenient concept, I'll admit. It's even more awesome when it doesn't belong.
