Yes, and mixing any not very good unit with other stuff dilutes their suckiness, that doesn't really show anything.
The abilities you list are either 'extras' (i.e ethereal doesn't isn't really a niche in itself, it's just nice to have, and on a weak and expensive unit it is just not nice enough alone), available easier and better other ways (amphibian and stealth) or just plain negligible (steal strength).
