The Rephaelite is a good unit, equivalent in almost every way that I can see to (a pair of) Palankashas except there's no head armor vulnerability and the resource cost is slightly higher than two Palankashas. The difference is that Lanka is likely to have a good bless because of all their blood sacreds, and Hinnom is perhaps less likely. But the base unit is pretty good--it's just that the Melqart is so much better that the Rephaelite is overshadowed. It's as if you could recruit both Niefel Jarls and Agarthan Seal Guards. Sure you could buy them both, but why would you unless you had extra resources?
