It works like a charm. Armoured Sergeants, the best spear unit in the game for catholic factions discounting pikemen, can stop all cavalry charges but will lose to elite cavalry. Heavy cavalry can still massacre sword infantry with ease, and light cavalry charges are much less effective. Spearmen get massacered by sword infantry.
Elite pikemen units can beat all cav, but get massacered by swords.
All in all i think it's quite a good balance, i've even sent my version of the edu off to CA for them to have a look at.
