It would certainly make more sense. It's pretty bizarre that weapons become basically irrelevant on a large unit with trample. When I first kitted out the Earth Mother I dIdn't expect her to act like an oversized bowling ball. If units needed to be upcosted a bit I'd be OK with it. Alternatively trample vs swing could be made into a unit decision the way mages pick spells - I suspect that, as Kissblade says, most of the trampling units are costed with consideration of their non-trampling abilities.
