It wouldn't be for nothing. It gives you the option of training heavier units for more cost or lighter units for less cost or a balance in the medium units. Gives the player options.
Looks really good! I doubt the apron (parablema) would have been added to the aspis. I guess you didn't switch the sword not to have everything on the left?
