The version of the spartan hoplite that we present is about as far from the stereotypical version of a spartan as one can imagine. It is a unit that serves most of their time as mercenaries in distant places, that are well armed and decorated. They may irritate some people who want a Thermopylai soldier out of the pages of Herodotos, but I don't think there will be many people complaining that they are too stereotypically Spartan. You may have the market cornered on that argument.
