Which is better - Hellenic Cataphracts or Hetairoi?

[Tudhaliya]

For my Arche Seleukia campaign, I modded in an extra unit: Hysteroi Hetairoi Kataphraktoi. Its like, the best of both worlds! Just slapped a hetairoi on a kataphrakt mount, kept the high morale and defense, made the charge and armor the same as the kataphraktoi and voila. Now, I felt guilty afterwards, like maybe I was cheating, so I made their cost and upkeep 1.5 times the normal Hetairoi, and only with 20 men instead of 25. But they are my favorite unit now, though suprisingly fragile if used incorrectly. But if I'm careful, they can break units without losing a single man (which helps because I can only build them in Seleukia and Antioch and Baktra :/).
