Just wondering, are the billmen heads and shoulders above other heavy infantry?

In the demo, they seemed far inferior to the dismounted Chivalric knights, although you may not consider the latter "infantry" per se.

Aren't the billmen supposed to be the guys that make english infantry the best of the period? (hence their lack of cavalry) If the billmen are dwarfed, then what's the advantage of being English other than longbowmen?

I'm assuming billmen are substantially cheaper, have lower upkeep, and can also be recruited in far greater numbers (thanks to the recruitment pool system) than footknights.

Chivalric Foot Knights in MTW were a lot better than Billmen, but the build requirements and high cost of fielding a larger number of the former meant that you were unlikely to see whole armies of them.
