Personally, I like the slow battles and especially the increased fatigue rate. One of my favorite EB tactics in a siege is to send a medium quality infantry (hastati if playing as Rome, etc) unit in first to wear down and tire out the defenders (usually some superior defensive unit like heavy hoplites or etc), then pull my attackers back and send something truly nasty like well rested heavy samnite infantry in to kill them all off.
