AIFV costs, should them be lowered or not?

I brought this up because a 300 point IFV is generally not (in my opinion) worth what a 300 point TI tank (Leopard 1A5 for example). Not to mention a 450 point IFV (in the posted polish oob there are some) being as worthy as a Leo 2A4.

Of course the tactical situation varies, but heavily armored MBTs may, or sometimes surely will survive a attack and have the chance of returning fire. But a IFV have no chance of surviving whatsoever (now I´m exaggurating, but trying to make a point). So NO IFV should be as expensive as a Main Battle Tank of the same period and sights. Or then the cost of heavier armor (so vital!) is too low in the cost calculator. MBTs too can carry tank-riders (if not fitted with ERA) if needed for close protection. I know riders aren´t armor-protected, but yet they won´t get wiped out if the tank is destroyed (gunned down but not wiped out).

IMO AIFV has no such assets compared to a MBT IN THIS GAME, that it should cost as much. Plainly and generally speaking.
